November Already

Ok now that is getting scary, I don't know if I have mentioned this before but I am a bit of a Christmas lover I would go so far as to say I'm a Christmas aholic. LOL So it already being November and I haven't even started decorating for the season is very scary, you see I start my inside decorating for Christmas on the 1st of October except for the 6 Christmas trees (this year there will be 7) which are done on the 1st December. Our outside light display is always started on the 1st November (my youngest sons birthday, I can't believe he is 10). Now here we are the 4th November and I haven't even pulled out the boxes of decorations.

Now some of you might think that I am a bit mad starting so early with my decorating but you see we have a little bit of an annual Christmas party at our place (last year there were 86 people) so in order to have everything ready and organized I have to start early. This year the party is on the 20th December and as I am not working at my second job this year I am hoping to get the decorating started on the 17th November, I can't start before hand because my Mother in law is having her 60th birthday party here on the 16th so I am still trying to finish painting and plastering before the party.


We are having a rock n roll diner theme for her party, the menu will consist of mini hotdogs, hamburgers, onion rings, hot chips, milkshakes, ice cream sundays and of cause banana splits. Can't wait no one is allowed to be on a diet that day. LOL

Wow I just realised how much I have written, now I'm going to add some photos of last years Christmas decorations, them I'm off to visit all of you to catch up with every ones news.


Bye for now

Cheers,

Hi Linda, so great to see you. You have really given me some inpsiration with your pictures from last year, to start thinking about my holiday home. The birthday party for your MIL sounds like a cute theme and great food ideas. Can't wait to see your decor when finished.
Have a great night and see you soon.

Linda Hi!
I'm a late Christmas person, yet I have started preparing little cards and goodies to sell today, I must say it was very enjoyable.

Hey Linda! I reckon I'll be ready for Christmas ... in about MARCH!! Pretty certain someone's stealing hours out of every day so I'm WAAAAAY behind! In fact, I still have some birthdays to deal with before I start thinking about Christmas, not to mention the growing number of deadlines I seem to have falling due before Santa makes his rounds! SIGH!! Maybe next year I'll get organised - or not! Tee! Hee! Hee! Bear Hugs! KRIS

I think there are probably a lot of us that would qualify as Christmasaholics and why not.....it is the merriest time of year!!
Look forward to seeing your 2008 Christmas photos.
