"They'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for roasting
And caroling out in the snow
They'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago..."
For the first time in YEARS, I am excited for this holiday season! I am not sure why the heart of this Grinch has grown 10 sizes to big, but it has and I am in full swing of things! Last night my husband and I put up our beautiful tinsel tree and decorated it with our keepsake ornaments while listening to Frank Sinatra's: A Jolly Christmas and enjoyed the warm, fresh smell of balsam cedar! As perfect of an evening as it was, I will admit it was difficult to take down the Halloween stuff.. although, we did keep some of it out that we just could not part with for a whole year! I guess the excitement of spending this Thanksgiving with those I love this year has me feeling sentimental. ;) We plan to have over our closest friends and family [that live here] for a traditional dinner and evening of video games and movies! It will be a great start to the Holidays! :)
ANYWAYS- the need for horror is never far away however and I wanted to share a gift idea with you for someone you know that loves all things creepy and spooky, or for yourself this holiday season! It is a collection of classic and wonderful ghost tales by some wonderful writers called: Christmas Ghosts: A Collection of Spooky Tales for a Winter's Eve. It is difficult to find in store, but easy to order just about anywhere, and with "Black Friday" only a day away, now might be a great time to purchase it!
Enjoy! Hope you have Happy Thanksgiving! :D
