Want to know one of my pet peeves?...no? Well too bad! I'm gonna tell you anyway ;)
Putting out Christmas decorations BEFORE Thanksgiving!! Arrgghhhh! Makes me want to go down the aisle of every decorating store and rip it ALL down! Yes, it makes me that irritated.
**Now don't get me wrong...I've been known to bust out some
NSYNC or Hanson Christmas before Turkey Day...but that's about as far as it goes-and that's only because I want to stretch out as much of those two CD's as I can in the short amount of time I am given to listen to them ;)**
I think my hatred of the Christmas decor early is because Thanksgiving may just be my favorite holiday. Just the title alone makes it sound so appealing. Giving thanks. Which is how we should live our lives every day! Thinking about all that I have been blessed with-and being VERY thankful for it. Now THAT'S a holiday worth celebrating! No presents, no candy, no "hooplah" surrounding it. Just a simple holiday to celebrate family, friends, {food!} and all that we have been blessed
with.
Here is a little one that I am SO VERY blessed to have in my life.
I had a fun little photo shoot with her this past weekend. I don't think she had as much fun as I did-but I just couldn't pass this up! However, I cannot take full credit for the idea. I found a picture similar to these on Pinterest and knew I HAD to do something similar.
I mean, come on, how cute are these?
So that being said....
Have a HAPPY (no early Christmas, keep fall decorations up) THANKSGIVING!
And don't be too offended if I give you a dirty look for buying that Christmas decor in the store that I so desperately want to tear off the shelves :) <----(forced fake smile)
