If a live Christmas tree would last for 2 months I would put mine up today!
I have never been away from home this time of year. I hope we can find ways to make it feel like the holidays here. Some of my favorite things about this time of year (that I am missing already) are...
- Downtown SLC: decorations, lights, temple square, horse drawn carriages
- Bountiful Christmas/Light Parade
- Festival of Tress (this will be the first time that Nic and I miss this)
- The Nutcracker with my mother-in-law & sister-in-law
- Baking with family
- Malls & Stores all decorated
- Scones at Winder Dairy (which we hope to fit in while we are home for Christmas!)
- Black Friday Shopping with Sisters
- Christmas/Window Shopping at all of the Malls
- Driving around looking at Christmas lights
- Getting our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving
- Snow on the Mountains
Are you a November 1st celebrator or hater?

Awe - Winder Dairy! That brings back lots of great mission memories! They were always so good to us missionaries.
I hope you find things you love here in Carson as you create new traditions for your family.
Celebrator!!!
Last year I was all geared up to hear Christmas music on the radio on Nov. 1st. As soon as it finally did come on I started playing it at the deli, much to the chagrin of my co-workers and customers. I don't really want to put my tree up or decorations out yet, but I can't wait to hear the music day in and day out and feel those feelings that only the holiday season brings.
Hater is a strong word, but I like to enjoy fall as long as possible so Christmas doesn't start til after Thanksgiving for me. Although I already have most shopping done for Christmas haha.
