Getting closer

The days are starting to remind me that Christmas is getting closer...the temperature is dropping so it has caused me to start getting the sweaters out and the winter clothes washed and checked to see if they still fit the kids or if they are too worn or old that they can't be worn anymore. I'll have to get my three kids all new winter boots as they are growing so fast.
I've been working on my Christmas list and started buying gifts little by little. I've been going through my elf binder and rewriting my list of things they will be doing this year and should start writing a list to send out Christmas cards. This year it will be a lot less. As much as I love to send out Christmas cards it can be expensive if I go overboard. LOL!
When I was looking at the Halloween decorations in Walmart I saw they were already starting to put the Christmas things out on shelves. I imagine they will be full of Christmas stuff a week after Halloween is over. I haven't seen any Christmas commercials on the tv yet but the commericals for toys has been in full swing for the past month and I am constantly hearing from my youngest, "I want that!" I am constantly trying to teach my kids it's not about the gifts but...I don't know if I'm getting through to them at all. But I'll keep trying and maybe one year they will surprise me eh?

Catching up

Wow...with all the birthdays, festivals, hoilidays and summer coming I have been really busy. I'm terrible when it comes to regularly blogging. I get busying doing one thing then see something else that needs to be done and go do that and eventually have to come back to the first thing I started...I'm always multi-tasking. No wonder I'm always tired! LOL!
Rudy Day will be coming up soon but with Thanksgiving this weekend and Halloween coming up soon I'm hoping I'll be able to get a little bit done that has to do with Christmas.

So to start off to get in the Christmas spirit here is a video...



I found this video on another blog ( http://merryandbrightblog.blogspot.com/ ) who found it on another blog. LOL! I just love this song and it would be great to add it to your music collection. Go download it if you wish and give them a helping hand. They made this song and video without corporate backers.

Christmas is coming faster than we realize folks! I've already started to purchase a few Christmas gifts and will continue to pick up a few now and then so it will be a little easier on the pocketbook. Perhaps this Rudy Day I will write my list of names to send people cards and also a list of what stocking stuffers to get.
