I'm just not a big fan of taking the decorations down afterwards. :rotfl: We've become very relaxed about our holiday meals too. Who says we have to have turkey for Thanksgiving? My family's been know to have lasagne. And it was a lot better having what we wanted then stressing over the "traditional" turkey and all the trimmings that no one was crazy for anyway. Beautiful pictures. I love the cooler weather. I really do enjoy decorating for the holidays . . . I’m just not a big fan of taking the decorations down afterwards. :rotfl:

I do go nuts for the holidays. At least when it comes to decorating. I pull out my Dept. 56 village, put garland on the bannisters, lights outside, replace items on my shelves and walls with Christmas stuff. But that only takes a couple of days. Where I have cut back is the cooking. I used to do a Christmas Eve meal. Now we go out to eat after mass. I also would do three big meals on Christmas day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Now I let hubby handle the breakfast. We've made brats with saurkraut our new lunch tradition. And then I make a special dinner. I now get to enjoy the day with the family and not spend it all in the kitchen. Love the pictures, Suzanne.

I don't do much decorating except for Christmas and then just a tree and lights on the railings. I don't mean to be a party pooper, but fall is my least favorite time of the year. For personal reasons, I can't wait for fall to be over. I am more of a spring person. Have a great week-end everyone and :hug: to all. :wave: Your decorations are really nice.

Our Thanksgiving is in October, so there's no real Christmas hype at that time. I actually don't enjoy the Xmas season anymore--or winter for that matter--so I'm not looking forward to it. However, autumn is my second-favourite season (Spring being my first), and I do enjoy the cooler weather--perfect for hiking. Have a great weekend, everyone. Suzanne, please don't enter me in the draw this week. Thanks. -Kim I love the photo, Suzanne.
