Thanksgiving over... its time to start preparing for Christmas. Over the next few days, the Fall decorations will be coming down and the Christmas ones going up. No lights will be switched on until the 3rd of December... the 14th anniversary of my dear Mothers death. My mother adored Christmas... so its the tradition that the Christmas lights will be switched on on that date in celebration of her life. Mind you...my week is so busy it will take me that long to organise it all
Today...its my lovely walking partners birthday...so we are having lunch out.. then she is leaving me for a week to visit Seattle. So I will be walking alone...and a bit later than 5.30am. Then this afternoon MrD and I have dentist appointments.. So dinner is leftovers of the weekend curry.. Theres plenty for him and a small dish for me if I'm peckish.
Thursday is Bible study and Fellowship at the church.. and in the afternoon I have a hospital appointment with my oncology surgeon. Its just a check up and I'm sure everything will be good.
The rest of the week will be taken up with baking (got to use up that leftover turkey in a couple of pies), decorating, stitching and getting the Christmas parcel ready to go to the Uk next week. So a bit of wrapping and card writing is on the agenda
A busy week indeed...but I just love it at this time of year

That is such a sweet tradition to switch on the lights to honor your mother. My house right now is a combination of Thanksgiving and Christmas but like you will slowly turn wintery as time goes on. Have a good time with your friend at lunch.
