Holidays

I love Christmas time! Except the working in retail part. People should be happy and cheerful but instead people are bitchy and act like I own at&t and I make all the rules, policies and procedures!!!
Okay, enough bitching from me.

I put my tree up a couple weeks before Thanksgiving. I love my tree but it leans (maybe just because of all the weight on the front of it) and I want a bigger one. Bigger house, bigger tree RIGHT??? i have so many ornaments that they don't fit on my tree, i hated packing up a box of ornaments to go back to the garage because they wont fit on my tree!!!

Thanksgiving was so great. It was my first Thanksgiving to host at my own house!!! The turkey intimidated me so mom made the turkey and ham, broccoli and cheese casserole, cranberry salad and corn casserole. Susan made REAL mashed potatoes (because i was going to fix instant), REAL stuffing (because i would have made Stovetop out of the box), pumpkin pie and pecan pie. Heidi made a strawberry cheesecake. Dave made jalapeno stuffed chicken breast and pistachio pudding. I made rolls, green bean casserole, instant mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes. We had so much food. It was great and the first Thanksgiving i have never ate turkey or ham because i ate the chicken!!!! It was me, Wyatt, Tony, Alexis, (Tonya was at her moms), Memaw, Mom, Heidi, Susan, John and Dave. Memaw didn't eat with us though. She said she wasn't hungry. Mom thinks MeMaw was disoriented being out of her environment and around people she didn't really know (or remember that she had met before) so I'm not sure how we will do Christmas or future holiday get-togethers.

I didn't get to do Black Friday shopping this year BUT who needs to when i have a little sister like Heidi????? Heidi was at Toys R Us by midnight to get Wyatt a DSI. She was out all night. Never went to sleep. I know she was at Target at like 4 am, Kohls at like 9 am, etc. Good news is, she did get the Nintendo dsi and now that she got Wy his, she wants one!!!!

I have wrapped over 40 presents and still have stuff to wrap. Wrapping is the one part I hate about Christmas but I like the presents to be underneath the tree so wrapping is just part of the Christmas fun!

Tony put up the Christmas lights before Thanksgiving but they blew breakers, broke outlets and blew fuses. Dad changed the outlet, we got an extension cord so that only two strands of lights are hooked together and plugged in together and we still cant keep them on. So i think I'm over the Christmas lights for this year and I'm pretty sure we had three strands of lights last year all plugged into one outlet?????

Wyatt saw Santa Claus at Bass Pro Shops with Grandma and told him he wants an electric scooter. Sure hope he gets one!!!!
