I have the best wife ever! Ok, so I mentioned before that we would start putting up Christmas decor next Friday. Well, last night my wife came home from taking our youngest trick-or-treating with his cousins. She then said she had an idea... so to make a long story short, the Christmas tree in our bedroom was put up last night as we watched Christmas with the Kranks.
We had put up a Christmas tree on Halloween 10 years ago when were were still dating.
This morning, my youngest son (Henry) who LOVES eggnogg, and I had created a plan to go get eggnogg as soon as we woke up. So that is what we did.
Let the Christmas season begin!!!

I'm having Thanksgiving, for my side. They are making the trip up north.
My parents are snowbirds in AZ, and are leaving earlier this year, so we are celebrating both with my side over Thanksgiving.
I will still make a big dinner for Adi & I for Christmas, but won't have a to of people. We usually invite neighbors, and friends over, who don't have family in the area, too.

How about you?

Good for you! LPs have a certain sound to them ... in spite of the surface noise, it's a nice, full sound to relax to now and then. MP3s are get-up-and-go music, but LPs are wonderful for just sitting on the sofa and listening with a warm mug of something. Occasionally I put on a Christmas LP and put a fireplace video on the TV at the same time.

My son is collecting vinyl. His record player gave out, so we're getting him a new one for Christmas. I'm tellin' ya, it's making a comeback. By the way, you can buy the soundtrack for the new Charlie Brown movie on amazon in CD format for $13. Same music on vinyl: $30. Obviously, there's value there...

That sounds really nice. I will celebrate both with my mom/siblings like usual. One of my brothers moved out to San Diego a few years back. At first it was like wow that sucks but oddly him coming back here for Christmas each year has made it even more special.
