Black Friday

Check out our festive Thanksgiving table from yesterday's feast!





It was a great day with family, friends, food, football, and so much to be thankful for.

And now, bring on Christmas! It's even snowing here in Maine!

Since it's truly the beginning of the Christmas season, I've been thinking about holiday traditions. What are your holiday traditions? I've heard a few neat ones in the past few months. One is the idea (great for large families with lots of kids!) of giving one clothing gift and one toy gift per child.

Another idea is to have each child make gifts for their siblings. I love this idea! I'm trying to do as much making as possible for my Christmas gifts this year. I'll be posting some great ideas for homemade gifts in the next week.

I've also heard some people only do stockings for each other and their kids. This year, Michael and I are toying with the idea of planning a trip together as a gift to each other.

But I think we'll still mix in some traditional pretty gift-giving this season! I'll be posting a few gift guides over the next week as well, so check back for some great holiday gift ideas!

In the meantime, take a peek at this magazine, called the Pizzazzerie Holiday Gift Guide. I love these free online magazines - they always have such beautiful ideas.
