Christmas bells are ringing

Ah, back after a long weekend. It was a nice Veteran's Day holiday..and next week comes Thanksgiving! My mind can't comprehend the fact that it is so close now. Everything is swirling around me, like what gifts to buy for who, and by what date; figuring out daycare when Seth is out of school; where do we have to be on what date and how many hours can we stay before rushing off to see the next family; when are my library books due..lol you know, stuff like that. One of my main worries right now is gifts, gifts, gifts! When I get paid at the end of the month, I will have to go gift-buying crazy. I'm frightened, because I'll need to get started the weekend of - dum da dum - black Friday. Isn't that the term used for the scary day-after-Thanksgiving-shopping-madness? It'll be a busy December as usual. Also, the day after Thanksgiving, the radio airwaves will be filled with the sounds of Christmas music..and in the stores too. It'll be the soundtrack of our lives for a month. Which is alright with me. I love Christmas music. And Christmas food. My mother's fudge will be making its annual appearances at Thanksgiving and Christmas! Hooray! It is just the most delicious fudge ever...I am always at its mercy, I can't resist it. Who am I kidding, I can't resist any holiday food. I'll have to lost 10 pounds now, just to maintain my current weight after the holidays. :P
