Life: I cannot believe Christmas is only about 34 days away! Where did the year go? By this time next week my Christmas Tree will be up and decorated! We still do not have temperatures anywhere near snow weather, but at least it is cooler out. I am looking forward to participating in the Book-lovers Secret Santa Swap and the Book Blogger Holiday Swap.
Family Update: My in-laws arrived from out of state and it has been a flurry of family activity, parties, outings, and entertainment.
Saturday Night: My in-laws are visiting from out of state and we celebrated not only the twins birthdays but also DH’s birthday. My MIL made her famous vegetable lasagna, homemade garlic bread, and salad. I ordered two cakes, each of which was delicious and enjoyed by all. That night was the final evening of the musical, which was brilliant!
Read and Reviewed: I managed to read and review 1o books, there were some excellent selections as well as wonderful holiday gift ideas.
If you do not want to wait until Monday to see the entire list for the week, all my reviews are up and as usual I love comments.
Today I will be reading: The Wolves of Andover by Kathleen Kent, if I get time. My son wants to show one of his top college choices to his grandparents and we also need to help strike the set at the theatre.
Happy Reading and please feel free to leave comments or suggestions.
Visit the The Sunday Salon.
Christmas is 34 days away? Wow! I haven’t done the first thing to get ready for it.
Enjoy the time with your family!
I now snuck up on me too. I will decorate this coming Friday.
I’m impressed that you read 10 books and had time to prepare for visitors as well! Have a great week!
Thanks it has been a whirlwind wind.
My Christmas decorations are easy (for the past three years); my space is relatively small, so I bring all the decorations in from the garage, where they’re packed away. I have three miniature trees decorated, and then various tabletop displays that go here and there around the house, along with wreaths. All artificial stuff, so I reuse them. They’ll go up right after Thanksgiving weekend.
Here’s my salon (and I just heard thunder here and now the rain is coming down hard!):

It sounds lovely! We decorate beginning Friday.
