Greetings fellow readers! As I look out on this day I see gloomy skies, fog and drizzle. As the day wears on the fog gets thicker and thicker. It’s so dark outside! I am keeping cozy by the fire with plenty to do however. My pumpkin pie is in the oven baking, filling the house with a wonderful aroma, the cranberry sauce is done (in my Mom’s crystal bowl).

With a few of the Thanksgiving tasks taken care of I’ll be settling down now in front of the fire to have a mini marathon of my favorite Christmas movies. Have you seen any of these?

They never fail to jump start my holiday mood. Since Thanksgiving is so late this year, I need all the help I can get. Why is it that I don’t ever really start thinking about Christmas until Thanksgiving? I wish they would insert another month in-between. That would be much more to my liking. That way you’d have plenty of time to gear up for the holiday season. Yikes! Christmas is in just a few short weeks!

I’ll also be working on these while watching the movies: Rick’s slippers. Don’t worry, I know they look big enough to be clown shoes but they get thrown in the washer and felted down to a normal size. Cozy and warm, and my favorite pattern of all to knit! (More on that later.)

I might even get to start this:

I need a thriller right about now!

Hope your holiday is cozy and packed full of all the things you love!

Everything looks beautiful Lynne…looks like Thanksgiving.  You and Rick have a great holiday!

Lynne-
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Your pumpkin pie looks better then the 5 I made today.. We are having a crowd! I’m working on the third apple pie- in the oven now. I totally agree with you on wishing there was more time in between Thanksgiving and Christmas- that time sure would help out a bunch!
Have a wonderful holiday!

Same to you Debra!

Jess, wow, 5 pies! I am totally impressed!

Wishing you both well!

I hope you have a bit of sunshine for Thanksgiving, but if not, that stove will surely make your house cozy!

I love that stove! It just makes everything seem so cozy. 

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  It didn’t occur to me that it was late this year…I do know that I’ve been feeling a bit rushed about Christmas though.  I guess that explains it!

hi lynne!

I hope you’re well and had a lovely thanksgiving.

the slippers look great - I’ve been wanting to knit and felt some, I hope you’re going to post more about that
(i have patterns but lack time!)
