Mamas Who Can't Wait for the Holidays

[Potty Diva]

I am just getting all goose bumpy and excited to ceclebrate the holidays. I am working on our Halloween costumes now, and trying to think of something nice for Thanksgiving. We have our cabin reserved for Christmas, and in the coming weeks I am going to make some decorations for the tree we will purchase in the town our cabin is at. I also am putting together a Christmas wish list, and Mark is doing the same.

All this holiday excitement has got me in a cleaning mood, and I spring cleaning in the fall :D

I've brought out all our winter clothing, starting putting up fall decorations, and watching, "Satna Claus is Coming to Town" my favorite kids Christmas movie.

Anyone else in 'mood'?

PS~ I am looking for the TV movie called, "The Night they Saved Christmas" starring Jaqueline Smith, anyone know where I can get it?

What is everyone doing to get ready for the holidays? SHARE SHARE SHARE if you can't wait to get the holidays moving!

Arts and Crafts?

YES! I've been thinking a lot about the holidays. Just yesterday I bought a cookbook because it had a pumpkin bisque recipe that I thought would be perfect for Thanksgiving! I already have dresses for my girls for Thanksgiving and for Christmas, I've been preparing Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas craft ideas, I've done loads of holiday shopping and I've starting planning menus for the holiday meals.

I'm very excited!

Yep, I'm a sucker for the holidays. It is my favorite time of the year. I love warm weather and sunshine, but I also like curling up with pretty much any hot beverage by the fire :) My birthday is very close to Christmas so that whole time of the year is just a lot of fun for us.

We were away for a long weekend this past weekend and we finished about 75% of our holiday shopping up. I'm looking forward to wrapping it soon and hoping to have time to do a lot of fun things leading up to Christmas.

I've been visiting organizedchristmas.com and using it to generate some ideas for holiday traditions to start with our 20 month old. I'm a nut :nut

On my to-do list is to order some new holiday CDs. I like pretty much everything but I want to get some classical Christmas as well as the Muppets/John Denver Christmas album. How's that for diverse
