I can't wait to read it. <br /><br />This is the first year we've actually done this, but my entire family is traveling to the Caribbean over the holiday. Yep, we'll have our toes in white sand while we hold our umbrella drinks.<br /><br />Next year, we'll resume our family traditions. My husband compares his decorating style to Clark W. Griswold. I'm sure my neighbors will miss it this year. ;-)<br /><br /><br />Victoria Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14655411862542154351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-18726540669485345042012-11-18T14:41:29.560-05:002012-11-18T14:41:29.560-05:00Ora - you can your own pumpkin?

I do like baking and pretty much only do it for the holidays so it's always a big treat, and a bit of a shock, "What is Momma doing? I think she's...cooking?!"<br /><br />Carolyn - mmmmm - sounds delicious! When I was a kid my dad was the one who picked the tree. For many years he said the perfect tree would have a bird's nest in it. We would spend hours tramping around the woods looking for a tree with a nest (back in the days when you trimmed your own tree)!Amanda Foresterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985238568270688021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-12563301528687039462012-11-18T08:12:12.359-05:002012-11-18T08:12:12.359-05:00Awesome cover!

Momma used to take us kids and we'd look at every cedar tree in all of southern Oklahoma before she finally made up her mind which one was "the tree." Sometimes I miss those days...Husband and I do our BIG thing at Thanksgiving and then recuperate at the beach on Christmas! I started off the baking last week with banana nut bread. Next up, pumpkin bread and then orange slice cake. Our house smells wonderful for days!Carolyn Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704111268464382004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-76318499692247785352012-11-18T06:53:30.603-05:002012-11-18T06:53:30.603-05:00Beautiful cover!

I also try to find a new Advent calender and nutcrackers which some years is harder than others since I like to find unusual or unique ones. It is fun going to look at speciality shops on the hunt for them.Orahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711651517441463346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-58066875554620220542012-11-17T17:57:27.328-05:002012-11-17T17:57:27.328-05:00Catslady - a tree trimming party sounds like fun! ...Catslady - a tree trimming party sounds like fun! I totally understand trying to get everyone's shedules to fit so we can get together. I've had holiday celebrations throughout the month of December to try to accommodate everyone. I gues it just spreads out the fun! Sounds like you are going to enjoy a New Year's tree!Amanda Foresterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985238568270688021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-31239733549234402062012-11-17T17:54:45.667-05:002012-11-17T17:54:45.667-05:00Mia - thanks!

I'm with you, the decorating takes time - I like to enjoy it as long as possible!Amanda Foresterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985238568270688021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-31821033964543130002012-11-17T13:56:40.986-05:002012-11-17T13:56:40.986-05:00It's a lovely cover!

But she is going to be gone the first 2 weekends (we can only do it on Sunday's because of my other daughter) and she wants the 16th so I am stuck on the 23rd. Since I get a live tree, it will stay up for most of January lol.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-89323647776117236802012-11-17T07:43:58.051-05:002012-11-17T07:43:58.051-05:00Yay, Amanda, on the earlier publication date!

That way all that work isn't for naught. My house looks like it is full of festive cheer for longer!<br /><br />But I do have artificial trees. I finally broke down and got a new one that is pre-lighted. Love it!<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving!!!Terry Spearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788961423817944896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-25261874098826036252012-11-17T07:35:02.212-05:002012-11-17T07:35:02.212-05:00Gorgeous cover!
