This year, I'm hoping to make the holidays less commercial and more meaningful, even though I'm working. Here's a list of my Thanksgiving Week hopes:
1. bake with the kids
2. make homeade ice cream with the kids
3. introduce the Advent Wreath and it's meaning
4. attend a Thanksgiving Eve service at church
5. set up my Victorian Christmas tree
6. listen to Christmas CDs (TransSiberian Orchestra's rock, and Manheimm Steamroller)
7. buy and start filling out Christmas cards
8. go out to eat Friday night with the family - my treat
9. have lunch with both Cathy and Marina this week
10. help the kids make gifts for my in-laws
I'll let you know how it goes.
