Today being December 1st, Thanksgiving is now behind us and Christmas is quickly approaching. Over Thanksgiving I had dinner with my family & friends. Saw the "Radio City Christmas Show" (For Free), stood in line at 3:50 a.m. with my Mom on Black Friday. Went to TPAC for my Mom's Birthday and saw the play "A Christmas Story" and went to see the "Charlie Brown Ice" exhibit. It was a busy but great weekend and a wonderful way to start my holiday season.
My tree is up and presents are wrapped underneath. Christmas music is playing on the radio at work (and in my car), houses are decorated and stores are full of holiday shoppers. It definitely is beginning to feel like Christmas time. Just 25 days!!!
Over Thanksgiving my Aunt (who also blogs) and I had a discussion after dinner about the holidays and we began to look at pictures of different events from years past. The photo at the top of this blog is myself, my Aunt, and my Brothers. This was probably taken over 10 years ago. We for a reason I do not remember all decided to wear these elephant mask, which I also do not know where they came from. However you can tell by our expressions, we were having fun. To me that is the most important part of the holidays. Whether is be eating dinner with family, playing games, watching a ballgame on tv, looking at old photographs, or wearing elephant masks, the holidays should be fun. A time to enjoy with those that you love. I love the holidays because I can spend time with family and friends, making memories like the picture above.
