Whoops, what happened to Thanksgiving. Or, Christmas Season is Officially Here

Did everyone notice that Black Friday seemed to start on Thursday this year?  What happened to Thanksgiving?  I know it was here because I had some seriously yummy turkey at my sister's house!  Way too full when I left there, but she makes THE BEST Thanksgiving dinner.  Her daughters also provide excellent sides and desserts.  Sarah and I both had to work so we missed the annual dinner in Toledo. My hubby and three youngest kids went but that was alright.  There are times when I just like spending time with my mom and sister and Sarah got to see her boyfriend after work.   I had to laugh when I found out that a group of the in-laws all went shopping that night.  They used to get up early and go!  

I have heard a lot of people talking lately about Christmas and how the true meaning is lost.  That is why I started this edition of my Ramblings.  I told a friend that the meaning will only be lost if we, as Christians, let it be.  This year I really hope to help my family focus on a Christ-centered Christmas.  While I was searching the internet for ideas, I came across several.  I don't want to say just how many because I don't want anyone to know how much time I have been spending on the computer!

I found an amazing Advent idea that I had 'pinned' last year.  I loved it then and love it even more now.  So for the next 25 days, I would like to share it with you.  I could give you the website and just leave it at that, but then I won't be sharing a little each day.  I promise to give credit where credit is due at the end of my series.  (She has a business, but the part that she sells is sold out so I think I will be ok)

Just stay tuned all month and feel free to share with anyone who may need a reminder!
