Where is everyone?

Oh yeah, it will be. They live 2 hours from us, but thankfully grandma and nanna will be able to help with the little man while I go get it. It's been over 20 years since we have had an actual puppy in the house. This time we will do it right.. crate training, etc. Amazon is a wonderful thing! Think I will wrap up some of the toys etc we are going to get for the dog and have the kiddo open them and get confused a bit, then we will let the little rascal out of the box..and all heck will break loose I am sure.

I started to put mine up after Halloween. It takes me a while, I only do it a bit at a time so it does not bother my back. I was the first house on the block to be light up on Thanksgiving night. This year I did not do as much as I had in prior years but the house still looks nice. The big Guava tree is all light up and the outline of the house. This year we did multi color light to be more cheerful, the last few years I did the house in all blue shimmering lights. The blue are elegant but look cold and icy. This year we needed to be as cheerful as possible.

The puppy sounds like a challenge, maybe an early surprise this year.

Half the decorations are up. I just am not in the holiday spirit enough to finish them.

Sorta.. I had made an Amazon cart and was waiting for my bonus.. as soon as the bonus hit my bank, all I had to do was hit Checkout and I was done! I do need to get a few things for the hubby but not too much. I am just waiting on my 10 shipments But, that was before we decided to get a puppy for my son's "big" gift, so I do need to get some things for it and plan how Santa is bringing him into the house etc. My hubby was not having it, then all of a sudden Saturday he decided that it was a go. Not sure how to hide that from a 5-year-old who is a nosey rosey

now .. the question is , did you get all the xmas shopping done ?.... I am almost there..

Ours has been up since around Thanksgiving, the kiddo was ready to put it all up, and so was I.. we just finished the outside stuff. We needed to get all new lights, blow-ups etc.. amazing how time and a hot Southeastern Texas attic will do a number on things.

Just finished putting up the holiday decorations, how's everyone's else's decorations coming along?

Thank you for all you do!

Holidays and lack of cruise news will do that

Sigh... back to work after a glorious 4 days off. Counting down the days to my vacation and hoping I get into the holly jolly spirit soon. I've done a pretty good job of not letting this pandemic get to me, but it's slowly getting to me
