Well, it is here! The Christmas Season! For our family, the Christmas Season officially arrives with Santa in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. And here he is!
Thanksgiving was lovely. I hope yours was too.
Steve had a cold, so he was off duty. Flynn set the table, and Madison and I worked together to create a delicious meal we will eat for days! And, once again, I have a whole new level of respect for my mother, who for years took a huge turkey sitting in cold water in our sink and turned it into an incredible Thanksgiving feast without batting an eye!
I hope you enjoy these fleeting days of this Christmas Season, my friends, doing whatever brings you and your family peace and joy. For our family, it is now cozy evenings together watching Christmas movies, simple suppers and festive desserts, Advent masses, lighting candles, and slowing down to savor every moment.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you for visiting.

ReplyDeleteI'm putting my Christmas stuff up today, taking a little break to check blogs. :)
Yum! Now I'm hungry! LOL! I haven't had our Thanksgiving celebration yet. Will be Sunday. I've had my tree up for a couple of weeks now... :) Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed Thanksgiving with your family. The best time of the year is here and I'm so excited. I just want to savor every moment between now and NY's. I know you'll be doing the same. Decorations are going up this weekend and then yes, cozy days and nights. Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteBillie Jo, Looks like a great Thanksgiving! Turkey sandwiches the next day are my favorite :) But all the dressings, corn casserole, green beans...yum! Have a wonderful weekend! (and I see the anonymous kill-joy has come to visit your comments. He's been making the rounds. Bah humbug.)
ReplyDeleteSuch nostalgic artwork in this post; very fun. But the cutest is your puppy snuggled up for a nap.
ReplyDeleteOh, these nostalgic Christmas scenes just warm my heart. Thank you for sharing, Billie Jo. I usually spend this weekend decorating, but I'm just not feeling it this year. I know that will change, but your enthusiasm always gives me joy!
ReplyDeleteYep, Thanksgiving is over and now we head into the Christmas season. It's that time of year.
ReplyDeleteHi Billie Jo! So glad that you and yours had a nice Thanksgiving. Enjoy the week ahead as we look toward Christmas! See you again soon.
ReplyDeleteLove the nostalgic pictures reminded me of my own childhood Christmases.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely Thanksgiving for everyone! I love your nostalgic Christmas images. They really do harken back to a simpler time don't they?!
ReplyDeleteYour Thanksgiving meal looks delicious. Xx
ReplyDeleteThose vintage pictures make my heart sing! Wherever do you find them? The department store pic brings back memories of shopping at JC Penney haha. And how I loved the Christmas carolers going around the neighborhood. You don't see that anymore. Your Linus blanket is so cute and soft for the pup. And your "thankful" centerpiece is perfect. The Macy's Parade is a tradition in our house as well. Such sweet memories of your mom making a special turkey dinner every year.
