Holiday Season

Christmas is my favorite holiday.   I love everything to do with it.  The lights, buying presents, the weather, the family and the food.  I check out the Christmas Countdown a lot.  As of today, there are just 76 days.  Yikes!  I already feel like my weekends are filling up leading to the big day.

My second favorite holiday has to be Halloween.  What other excuse do adults get to dress up in silly costumes and run amok. "Amok, amok, amok, amok" ala Sarah from Hocus Pocus.
You can check out my Halloween posts HERE , HERE and HERE from last year.  We always do a huge party but this year may be a bit smaller and less fantastical.  My sister is set to have her second son on Friday October 11th so we are all kinda focused on that at the moment.  I do have some pretty cool ideas pinned on Pinterest but don't know if I will get around to them.  Check out my board HERE.  We have plenty of decorations in storage.  In the shop we have 4 totes of Halloween decorations.  (We have an entire outbuilding dedicated to Christmas decor.)

My husband and I spent about an hour at JoAnn Fabrics yesterday getting the fabric and do-dads for our costumes.  I am going to keep that under wraps for now.  I love to see the look on people's faces when they see what we've come up with.  It is getting harder and harder for me to top what we have done in the past.  Be careful when you set the bar too high.  You have to keep topping that.  :)
