Thanksgiving traditions

One of our Thanksgiving traditions (for the day or two after Thanksgiving) has been taking down the fall decorations and putting up the Christmas decorations. If there are more people around the house than required for putting up the decorations, the extras end up with assignments like cleaning out the rain gutters, mowing or edging the lawn, or tending the young 'uns so the rest of us can work.

There's less pressure around our house to be putting up the Christmas decor since we haven't a single party planned here yet. Still, it would be nice have a little holiday spirit to remind us. Actually, once the ward party is over next week, we won't have any parties to go to so we'll really need the extra reminders.

  1. I know our choir has been on a several-month break, but I for one would love to have our annual choir Christmas party! If you and Carolyn are willing to have it at your house again, the rest of us can provide the food. Let me know, and I'll spread the word.
