Blog Candy. . .

I went to Target today for more tissues and some contact lens solution and I was shocked to see the Christmas Dept. ready to go. Now, I have seen those decorations slowly coming in to the stores, being put up at the malls already, and last night saw my first Christmas Ad on TV. . . WOW!! How about let us celebrate Thanksgiving first?!?!?! I say that every year. This is the first year in a long time, I have not already written my Christmas cards (addressed them) in advance. I foresee myself doing that next week. My friend, Laurie, sent out an email for her Christmas picture specials a few days ago. . . So, folks, Christmas "stuff" is starting to go full swing. In honor of hitting over 2000 visits to my blog as well as Christmas, I am doing some blog candy. Leave a comment with 3 things you are looking forward to this Christmas. Contest ends November 15 and their will be two winners selected by Random. ENJOY!!
