@cowboy sam ...Wow, you have all of your Christmas shopping and wrapping taken care of already...You are way ahead of me, although we don't really do as many gifts as we did in the past, as the family grew and we all just agreed to limit the gifts as time went on...We will be doing our Christmas Tree and also decorating our lamp post this week and I put battery-operated candles in some of the windows...Love the ambience of Christmas!
@SouthernBee ...So relieved for you that your refrigerator is finally repaired and working okay now, so you can rest your mind regarding that, at least...It sounds like you and your husband had a lovely, relaxing Thanksgiving Day which you really needed with all that you have been dealing with...Now, hopefully, you can enjoy getting ready for Christmas.
@geezerette ...Good for you having a Pizza & Ice Cream Thanksgiiving Day and just chilling out...I loved reading how everyone celebrated their Thanksgiving in their own unique personal way...These past four days just seem to have flown by so fast!
@Bri369 ...Your dinner with your family sounds lovely and delicious... We had seven also in our small gathering in NY and a few dessert guests afterwards which made it 12...It was our first Holiday family gathering since Covid.
@Mj12 ...I was wondering how long of a drive it is for you to Ohio?...I hope all went smoothly with traffic...We did good with our drive to NY....came across the usual expected traffic but nothing that held us up, as we left pretty early just to be sure.
Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend!
