And so it begins

I just looked at my calendar and realized:

This weekend marks the yearly slide into the holiday season.

no, not that kind of slide

Every weekend, from now until Christmas, is filled with some sort of festivity...

holiday related or not.

Every weekend until December 25th, I will be traveling to and fro...

visiting friends, relatives, and the like.

I love this time of year.

It's so busy, and festive.

It's so great to meet up with friends that you haven't seen in a while.

The family parties are always a delight.

And plus - the shopping.

The malls are crowded and decorated in such a festive manner.

It's never relaxing, but all the running around is always worth it.

And with Thanksgiving thrown in the mix... it's sure to be a great time.

O holidays - how I adore thee.
