Once upon a time, my nephew Jared told me that he knows why Christmas is my favorite holiday. Because my name is Mary and I am married to Kris which equals Merry Christmas! Funny but I completely understand.
Christmas is popping up everywhere. However, we're focused on Thanksgiving right now. We got our turkey. We've got all of the other fixings! We're ready. Wednesday night will be full of baking and prepping. Thursday will be stuffing, roasting, thanking, eating and FOOTBALL, of course!
We're spending Thanksgiving as just the 4 of us. It will be nice. My sister and her family normally do the same thing and love it. It's the only major holiday they spend just as them. We're not suppose to have any visitors in our home so we're couldn't invite anyone. So it'll just be us.
On a much sadder thought, it came to my attention early yesterday morning that a guy I went to school with, well 1 year younger, passed away in the early hours as result of a car accident. He was 24. The amount of death that has happened to so many of the same age, meaning the graduated class of 2004, is awful. My husband is the same age and it just floors me at how many have passed from his class. Greg's life was taken way to soon. It just makes me sad but reminds me that everyday is precious. We've learned that and try to live like it.
I am also excited to tell you that we had Christmas photos taken and have our christmas cards ordered. I saw on the Frugal Mommy's website that with a special promo code you could get 50 photo christmas cards for free. So last night I ordered those and paid $3.19 for shipping. That comes out to 6.38 cents per card and I personalized them with 2 photos! Enjoy the photos.
