Festivities

I feel like the holidays are really coming up fast. You can't fail to notice the holiday music and decorations in every store you set foot in. I do love the feeling of the holidays-that warm, fuzzy inside feeling-I just wish we could have some snow to go with that!
I remember reading somewhere that our odds of having a white Christmas here in Southwestern Ontario were only something like 25% or less. I wish I could find that article to verify but with the weather we've been having in the last ten years or so it doesn't surprise me. Green Christmases are kind of lame-unless you live in Florida.
Even Savanna's playhouse and garage have been decorated. If we add any more buildings we will soon have a Christmas village! I vote for an outhouse for the female members of the family! It would be especially handy for bonfire nights.
We got our Christmas tree on Sunday and now we just have to get a new tree stand so we can put it up. I get a little sad every year when we chop down a perfectly good tree but its a family tradition and you don't mess with those! Like last year, they have a fry stand set up as soon as you get into the bush. They must make a killing! I mean how many parents out there do you know whose kids don't like French fries?
So now it's on to buying the last of the presents, wrapping and then sitting back to relax and enjoy-if that's possible in the holiday season.
