No apologies are necessary. We are family!
I think we can absolutley live in the moment while still looking forward to our milestone days and special days!
Ive lived basically a 24/7 Christmas lifestyle now for about 7 years almost, and I can promise you that “actual” Christmas season is no less special, in fact it even seems to get more special as the years draw on.
The year I was in Alaska it was the last couple of weeks of October and the first week of November. I had expected it to be really cold. It was warmer there than here. Even when we went to the glaciers, we only needed jackets and much of the time it was shirt sleeves.
I don't think you derailed at all. I felt your gratitude.
It WON"T get any higher than today! That is an awesome thought!
I agree with @LadyLynn and the others, you are welcome to share here anytime and I suspect that you are a rock for everyone in your life, so it is nice that you can share some vulnerability here.
My niece had a difficult delivery with her first child that ended up in a c-section after a day and a half of labor and I remember how her husband looked 24 hours after that, and I asked him how he was doing -- many months later, he told me how much that it meant that I asked him how he was doing too, that no one else had. You are in a caring community here.
Agreed with everyone else; I don't think you derailed it either. I just meant that I didn't want to detail it with my story. Sorry if I implied otherwise.
November 23!
As I got older I kept wishing I was a few years younger, or this age, or that age etc...and then one day I remember someone saying that today is the youngest you'll ever be so enjoy it. Great advice.
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 359
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 337
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 276
Happy Next To Last Day Of November! Today folks we have 359 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 337 days to go until November and 276 days left until The Bers. Our next milestone will be our first one of this thread and it will be here the day after tomorrow (Thursday) when we reach the Arrival Of December. That will be a big moment for us as we begin on the 11-month journey back to November. And of course folks today is Tuesday so feel free to share any pictures of Thanksgiving you may have. I am going to try to start contributing later in the day on Tuesdays (I have gotten into the habit of coming here twice a day am and pm). We are here in our early part of the Happy Holidays portion of our thread. It certainly is an amazing thing to see how Thanksgiving not only brought us turkey, stuffing, the parade, football and all the traditions but also the entire holiday season. It just welcomed it in and here we are BOOM in the Holiday Season. A great time of year we all should enjoy so it’s hard to look at those counts and think wow they are too high. That just means we’re in the holiday season! Where else would you want to be (other than on Thanksgiving Eve/Day)! No matter what your plans are today and if you have turkey left or not from Thanksgiving I hope you get to enjoy your day. Enjoy the memories we all have right now of Thanksgiving and the holiday season it has brought to us now. Have a great Next To Last Day Of November!

I know we've been technically counting down since Thanksgiving evening, but hitting December kind of makes it feel "for real".
I was just telling someone yesterday how it feels strange that Thanksgiving already feels like it was a few weeks ago! Thank goodness we can keep the memories alive and the anticipation in this thread!

I really enjoyed Thanksgiving this year. I can't wait for its return.
I just keep thinking about how great Thanksgiving was. I love the feeling that I get on major holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even Easter. It's a different feeling for each one, but I also get to feel like a kid again. I'm glad that Christmas is up next, but I'm already excited for next Thanksgiving.
I think you have hit the key to why we love the holidays. As adults, we have so many worries and problems. In many ways, focusing on the beauty and joy of each holiday lets us be carefree kids again.
Happy Tuesday everyone! I am finishing up with whats left in the garage and just got fed up today..lol. Its a early day for me. Just tossed out the last of the turkey and packed up the Thanksgiving dishware and kitchen items. Hard to believe its done with for another year...
Awesome.

What’s the better month November or December?
- November
- December
- It’s a tie. I can’t choose between them.
- I prefer another month of the year over November & December.
- The way this question is worded is key for me. I’m going with C. I think it’s a tie just saying which is “better?” They’re both equally amazing. If I had added the word “Overall” I’d pick November because of the December 26 – December 31-time period where everything is ending. But I love both of these last 2 months so much. And you all know how I feel about October. Love the 4th quarter. Which month would you choose? Well turkey fans we keep trotting along in the early stages still of our Happy Holidays time period. Let’s enjoy it and start it off with just enjoying today. Have a great Farewell To November!
