First, there is snow and I have been assured by the weather man that today I will see the first flakes of the season!
Second, there is Thanksgiving and who doesn't love to eat and hang out with loved ones!
Third, everyone is more thoughtful this time of year!
Fourth, everything is more beautiful, little white lights make the world look better!
Fifth, you are given the opportunity to really think about what could make people happy, this is why I love presents and do not think of them as commercial at all! You don't have to spend tons of money, you just have to put some thought into what would make that person smile. I have had my list of gifts to give made for over a month now I love when I am able to pull it out and add a gift that has come to mind for someone. Keeps family and friends in my thoughts!
Sixth, most everyone takes the time to think about what is important to them. This reflection puts life back into perspective.
Seventh, decorating for Christmas. This is one of my favorite things in the world to do!
Eighth, seeing family twice in almost the space of one month where usually it takes around 4-5 months to see those that aren't close!
Ninth, CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!! I love it, in all varieties, and this year I plan to spread the joy ;)
Tenth, celebrating Christ's, Payton's and my birthdays and soon Rolene's little boy's birthday. All of these fall into these two months!!
Eleventh, going home to NEBRASKA!!! No place in the world can feel like being home!
Twelfth, CHRISTMAS and everything else that encompasses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you share the joy of the season with me and have a wonderful November and December!!

Seriously, this is such a great time of year. I love it too! I am going home to NE for Christmas, I think I'm going with Jeremy and Hunter if all goes well!
You need to come to my house. You know Christmas was up before Halloween. I was talking to someone the other day and they were talking about being excited for Christmas and they looked at me and said, "Oh, you like to celebrate Thanksgiving don't you?" like they were a little disgusted with me. Ha ha.
One of the many reasons I'm glad we're roommates. So I can share with someone how happy we are that it is the holiday season and that Christmas decorations/music, etc. can totally encompass Thanksgiving. I think maybe we should decorate next week. :) But I do love all the pictures. It makes me wish there was snow and white lights on right now.
I heart you, Hilary!
Hil, your so cute!!! I like these months too, everyone seems to be so much nicer! Are you going home for turkey day this year?
