My Kind of Day

I adore autumn. The colors, the events, the smells...Its my favorite season. Part of the reason it is a favorite though is that it’s the beginning of The Holidays. Autumn is like a bright, inviting gateway into an enchanted world of decedent food, enticing smells, love, friendship, and lights. It’s what I imagine Heaven would be like.

Usually I am content with my autumn decorations until November, but with a couple of significant snows already under our belt, and more forecast through mid-week, I’m struggling not to at least put up my bedroom tree early this year. I might make it to the first, but it’s going to be a close thing. 

Having spent the last two Christmases with family I am a little disappointed with the realization that we won’t have any guests or be going anywhere this year, but I am determined to make it the Holly Jolliest Christmas ever despite the inevitable homesickness lurking in the background. After all, home is where my littles are, and they are all enthusiastically counting down to decorating right along with me. 

This is my kind of day!
