She said it was just not something she wanted to do alone, and who can blame her. Of course the kids _loved_ it lol, and the 2 younger ones were here today helping us with our decorating. So sweet :)Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-11833535069169637682017-11-24T14:38:32.614-08:002017-11-24T14:38:32.614-08:00Up here where it is cold it seems time to decorate...Up here where it is cold it seems time to decorate for Christmas. However, all this going right from Halloween to Christmas is crazy. I understand how you feel about Thanksgiving. Yesterday was my grandmother's birthday and I always think of her on Thanksgiving. Not quite the same I know, but I miss her. I do think your Mom had a great idea for the day after Thanksgiving. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoyed your yummy sounding meal.

For 4 years I just couldn't see it coming, believing the doctors who kept saying that if I could only get her to eat more.... Hindsight is 20/20 they say, and I believe it.

It was a blessing to have us all there with her.<br /><br />I see the day ahead when we'll have a tabletop tree. For now my husband wants the big one.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-18141787505697211602017-11-24T05:17:59.524-08:002017-11-24T05:17:59.524-08:00I'm hoping Thanksgiving went by without too mu...I'm hoping Thanksgiving went by without too much sadness for you and your family and that you enjoy putting up your Christmas decorations today.

Things like that change the holidays.<br /><br />The day after Thanksgiving is the traditional Christmas tree decorating day for so many people and for the first time I think I shall join them tomorrow.

My father in law died November 21 and my dad died November 25 the same year. 10 years ago, I can't believe where the time has gone. My husband's mom died 29 year's ago on New year's day, so our holiday Joy is always bookended by those anniversaries, bittersweet. Hugs to you.nanskidrewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578537371761302331noreply@blogger.com
