Holiday Crunch

Sunday, November 21st, 2004

Today all I keep thinking about is the holidays. The holidays and bills. And how much money the holidays cost me every year.
So, I decided to do something about it. I actually went around the neighbor hood and sold some of my famous Holiday Crunch. I sold a few! Its not much but anything helps. I always get nervous about the holidays and always trying hard not to get into dept.
I am almost done with my whole christmas shopping for the family! I only have a few more people to shop for then I can focus on my kids. Its quite amazing how I got it almost all done! Especially considering how large the family is!!
I am looking forward to this Thanksgiving weekend!
My children only have 2 days of school this week and my husband only works 3 nights! Its wonderful that I can spend alot of time with them! Another big hit is that my cousin and her family are all moving up here on Thursday. Which is Thanksgiving day. On Friday, my husband and I are going to put up the Christmas lights up and all over the house. We do tend to go a little (okay… we go all out) for Christmas with the lights. My husband and I love Christmas. Its funny too! It seems like we are always competeing against my sister in law next door on who got the most lights up and who’s is better! Its all fun! We laugh with them when we are putting up the Christmas lights.
On Saturday, if weather permits, we are all going to drive up to Placerville and play in the snow and chop down our tree. We are all excited.
