Too soon for Christmas

Already Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is upon us. Seems almost every neighbor I've seen, believe me, have put up their Christmas decorations already, and it's not even the first week of December, and some Christmas music has been playing since before Thanksgiving. It's insane. It's like *snap* and Christmas will be gone in a blink of an eye. So hopefully we all enjoy Christmas and let it not come and go so fast. I bet by tomorrow, everyone in my neighborhood will have their Christmas tree all decorated. I wait on the week before my birthday to get the tree chopped and decorated.
December is one of the best months ever, dead last, but I think I enjoy it more knowing that my Birthday is on that month. But maybe it's just that during the end of December, Christmas will be there, but believe me it will come and go before we know it. Till then Caio Bloggers! Chat with you before Christmas for sure.

Thanksgiving feast

Mashed potatoes, stuffing, turkey. Can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving. Time has flew by too fast.

Have work off so I'll be spending time with my family and will be enjoying stuffing food down my throat. Mostly what I do when I wake up on Thanksgiving morning is: watch the Ikea thanksgiving day Parade. It use to be called Boscov's, until Boscov's went out of business. Still enjoy it though. It's in Philadelphia. Also enjoy watching bands play, celebrities sing, all that stuff I enjoyed when I was a little girl.
When the parade is over, my parents and I listen to a radio station called: "Alice's restaurant" A long song, or story about a woman's restaurant and Piere Robert narrates the whole story, every year, never changes.

Also, big family. Mostly from my dad's side. My aunt brings her sweet potato casserole, and we get cranberry sauce (FROM A CAN) with the ridges on it. It's tradition in our house for sure. We sit at a real long table, serve ourselves after dad or my brother carves the turkey, and we gather around, say grace and be thankful for what we have and what is yet to come. We enjoy the conversation, and then we are so stuffed. Trying to save as much turkey for leftovers, but sometimes, it just a little hard to do sometimes if you're very hungry. Hope everyone has a nice, safe and happy Thanksgiving! Till then, Caio Bloggers
