Christmas Countdown...

Wow! We are well into the month of November and Thanksgiving is just around the corner...very exciting! We will be heading back to Louisiana for the holiday, and besides getting to spend time with our families and catch up with some old friends, there will be tons of wonderful holiday home-cooking! Yum- Baby boy will love it! Speaking of holiday cooking, I think I'm going to make this pie soon- Sweet potato buttermilk...can't wait!


I was just looking at the calendar and can hardly believe Christmas will be here in 49 days- and only 51 days after that 'til the baby is due! Time to start getting ready!

On the subject of Christmas, here's a video for Advent Conspiracy- just heard about it recently... it's really exciting! I've always tried to avoid the hustle and bustle and commercialism of Christmas, but here's some great thoughts on how we should be celebrating in meaningful, God-honoring ways. Also, they have a community site http://rethinkingchristmas.com with fun ideas for homemade, creative, cheap (and simple) gifts. Check it out!
