Yes, time to move forward and start Christmas. 🎄 ❤ I'm not sure if I am going to recruit the family to help with Christmas or let them rest. I think rest. I might just change out dishes and save the real decorating for Christmas for Saturday after everyone is gone. 😊 Enjoy your day DP. ❤ 

Diablo is the hugger... Believe it or not. I know what you mean - someone else's home. Things that break tradition are weird. Leftovers are at my mom's but I do have some of the cookies I baked. Becc@- I do all the decorating, David does the carrying up and down (well I did it this year because he's working his butt off) but I do make everyone put the ornaments on the tree. Been at it about 4 hours. Not even putting a dent in it. Went on the porch to bring in the fall decor and ended up raking leaves in ten degree weather. Got a little sidetracked for a sec. 😳🤷🏻‍♀️ 

We did all our decorating last Friday. I keep forgetting my Christmas mugs…walking to the kitchen right now to take them out… 

I put peppermint in my coffee this morning. let the reindeer games begin!!! putting up lights today, I think.  

yes time to put up the tree and decorate for the next holiday  

Happy Black Friday to you too DP! Have a great weekend and stay blessed! 💕 

Happy black friday DP! I haven't stepped on the scale. Stayed home for Thanksgiving, didn't have time to drive to my niece's new place in Washington. Had the new dryer vent installed Wednesday and the fans and equipment for the mold remediation are stilling blowing 24 hours a day. I did drink egg nog with brandy! 

Is it time to put the tree up already? I hear it calling out to me, but I'm feeling lazy today! Can't believe how fast this year went!  

Blessings DP!💕 I already ate my calories in the dang Pecan Pie slice that was huge!🥺 Now I am enjoying cheeses - Ahhhhh! In actuality we haven’t had dinner yet!😱 But, I know we will get back on track, record shows we can do it just not today. Tomorrow is another Thanksgiving with my DIL, so Monday I am starting so I can let loose at Christmas.🎄 

I'm only putting up the tree, nativity and dishes. My BIL stayed and him and Joe are watching football, so I am on my own and won't disturb them. Not doing much because we're not going to be here much. Funny how easily we can be distracted. I walk around a lot of times chanted, "stay focused Becky and get at least one thing finished"! 😁 

I walk in circles too Becky, time consuming!😆👍 

Happy Thanksgiving!!! 😊 

I got well over 5000 steps yesterday without leaving the house. Lots of walking in circles and rearranging. I was tired of buying prelit trees and so I put my own lights on last year and then it was such a huge pain in the butt that we decided we would store the tree in the basement with the lights on. Ugh- what a pain. It did not work out well. I had to take them all off and refluff the tree. I bet that alone took 2 hours with redoing the lights. It looks really pretty now. I love it. Still not totally done. The inside always looks so pretty but the porch is lame. It needs a lot of work. I have no outside outlet in front and so I have to run an extension cord through the window. So so much work for one month.  

Thanks kennyn and fritzy and nikina and whoever else. Shrewdness- I have to get to the gym tomorrow. There is no logical reason for me to wait until 12/1. The leftovers are gone- no more pie or cookies. It's leg day- but I think I will cut myself some slack and start with something I actually love instead of hate.
