Bring On The Holidays!

As most of you know, Thanksgiving is this Thursday. Which of course means family, food and pie.

Halloween of course was in October and Christmas is just around the corner following after my birthday next week. Where I will have a detailed post of my entire birthday experiance as I turn 21.

But anyway, Thanksgiving.

If you haven't notice I have christmas music playing on my blog. Despite what my other siblings say on the matter. Christmas music is completely viable November 1st. That's when you are allowed to start listening to it, no sooner, give Halloween it's moment to breath.

So I start planning for Christmas in November. There are no Thanksgiving songs or music so Christmas music becomes part of the package now. (Although I was out voted on putting up Christmas decorations early). I can understand that if we still live in a state that actually had an Autumn. But we don't, we live in Arizona. There are only four seasons here. Chilly, slightly colder, hot, and then the inferno.

We don't get Autumn or winter. So anything that helps me get into the Christmas spirit because of lack of snow I'm going to take. And Music is the only way that I can do that. So I'm going to do that.

On a better note I get to decorate for Christmas this week-end after Thanksgiving, and tomorrow I get to spend all day helping my mom cook. YAY! Also I'll be watching 'A Christmas Story' it's a tradition my brother started so I watch it every year on Thanksgiving. OH, and there is the Thanksgiving day parade. We tend to watch only parts of it. But it's part of the package.

The holidays are great, I'm excited and the family is in town. The next few weeks leading up to Christmas are going to be fun. BOO-YEAH!

Oktoberfest (Not to be confused with the actual festival.)


October was a lot of fun this year. Not only does it have Halloween and herolds in the holiday season. But I also got to go hang out in California for about a week and hang out with my sister and my nephews and niece. It's always fun to see them. The weather is cooler there, and we went and did some pretty fun things. We went to a pumpkin patch and got pumpkins with my niece.

But after spending a week with them it was time to return home. After which I spent the reminder of my month getting ready for Halloween and the rest of the holidays.

I went and got a pumpkin, the only person to carve one at home this year. AFter I carved mine my mom wanted to carve more. But I wasn't willing to carve another one like she wanted to. But while I was carving my pumpkin I watched 'Nightmare Before Christmas'. Well, listened to, would be more accurate. You can't really watch a movie when you are focused on carving a pumpkin.

So on Halloween I was a fairy, bright fairy wings, curly hair and glitter. Which of course got glitter everywhere. I spent the next day cleaning the house and getting rid of all the glitter. SO much glitter!

But Halloween was fun. We passed out Halloween candy to all the trick o treaters. So cute when they are little! And I hung out and played games with my friends and ate candy. And we watched scary movies until after midnight as a family. It was fun.

I love the holidays.
