Goodbye Orange and Gold…

by Liz Dowling

I know its Black Friday and nobody is going to read this.  Christmas is kicking fall to the curb today.  Pumpkins and mums are going in the trash.  I still have dishes from Thanksgiving, but am about to have my first holiday shopping anxiety attack…

Before I start obsessively compiling my Christmas list, I have to take a small pause.  Fall was spectacular this year.

My daughter is a December baby, but we threw her an early 21st birthday party at Thanksgiving.  I used fall colors on her personalized M&M’s.

I am tempted to hit the gas and go get the wreath for my door today… But I can’t do it yet.  I want to hang out with my daughters before they go back to college. Catch up on some new movies.  Take long walks to work off yesterday.  That’s about it!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
