Getting in the holiday spirit

I had planned to take a riding lesson yesterday and then since I was near my hair stylist's get my hair cut for the holidays. However, it was too cold to ride, so I canceled my lesson. I drove to my friend's house and she dyed and cut my hair. We ate lunch together and chatted. About this time, I should pencil in church services, work, hoi jeon moo sool and family events on my calender. Two of my daughters arrive home on Monday. Next week Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, I will be at my husband's family reunion at my nephew's house. About 25 of the relatives will be there. We drive about 40 miles to my nephew's large historic home. He has enough room to seat everyone and for us to spread out. Truthfully, after a couple hours, I am ready to leave and come home. Have had my fill of food, family and football. On Sunday, my side of the family is having a fall get together. It will be at my sister's bounce zone so that the children can play. It is a potluck with everyone bringing a dish to share and their own drinks. A chance to wish the family a happy holiday. I have gone to the store and looked at LED lights and Christmas trees that are pre lit and can be programmed with an I phone. A little too pricey, so we will probably make do with the old. Have to figure out where to place my winter village and Nativity set, out of harm's way. The young cat pulled down the tablecloth under the Nativity last year and Grandma's hand painted ceramic pieces crashed to the ground. Fortunately, her pieces were unbroken, but my pieces were damaged and had to be glued. So I need to figure out a safe place to put them. Just part of getting organized for the holidays.
