Yes! You read that right. We are skipping right on over Thanksgiving this year! To be honest, I don’t and never really have cared about the Holiday. Specially with how it originated. I just went along with the tradition because of family, and friends. But I don’t really care for it. I don’t eat turkey, so my mother would always make something for us both since she didn’t eat turkey either. It was something we’d usually eat throughout the year like ribs, or pernil. So, it wasn’t like I’d be looking forward to that special meal that I’d only eat on that “special” Thursday.

Last year Joe and I decided to go away this year. And we booked a trip to Orlando. So, that’s where Adrian, Joe and I will be on that Thursday. Flying out to Orlando, and making memories as a family. Adrian doesn’t really know what’s going on but he knows we are all doing something together. I’m just trying to remain positive, and praying to God and our spiritual teams that everything goes according or better than planned! And that’s all that I can do. Plan and pack accordingly and have faith that my prayers have been answered.

And since we are skipping it, I just decided to go into decorating for Christmas mode! Every year I always say “next year Ill decorate a little more” or “next year I will order and outdoor decor to spruce up the yard a little.” And we are here! I refuse to procrastinate with my plans. So, I put away the faux pumpkins and made a few changes in the living room. Starting with the curtains, and couch pillows.

I have to buy white sheer curtains. The ones pictured are a cream color & matched the previous curtains.

Pretty soon after that I decided that we needed a wreath, and soon I will visit craft stores for other Winter (will match with Christmas decorations but work for the entire season) wall decor. And I will order the decoration for the outside of our home as well. Adrian will be very pleased when he sees it. As for the remainder of the indoors, I am not finished yet. As the days pass I will continue adding some finishing touches, as well as the Christmas tree. But that will probably come up after Thanksgiving. Do you have any special traditions for the Holiday season?

I hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Love & Light, Cin.
