An Overview of Holiday Plans

This is my first holiday season in my first home and I am so excited. I tend to go a little overboard when it comes to Christmas (imagine 4 Christmas trees in a 500 sq ft apartment), but I can't help it, it's my favorite time of year.

This year I have some big sparkling plans. Seeing that we are not going to have a traditional Thanksgiving I am going to try to get my Christmas decorating a jump start this coming weekend, no reason to wait until after black Friday. The highlight of my holiday season will hopefully be my Holiday Openhouse / Housewarming Party - it will be the first time most of my family will have seen my little "mid-century cottage", heck, when they get the invites will be the first time most of my family finds out I bought a house, that includes my father (I'm a bit nervous about that).

My mom and I sat down and wrote out the official guest list this past weekend and the numbers were reaching well over 60. Thank goodness I have a large yard!

I also think that I am going to try to do Christmas Dinner at my house, there is only 5 of us, so we should fit no problem.

There is just so much that needs to get done before my openhouse, so I am afraid that you all will have to put up with my party plans for a few weeks, but heck, maybe I'll even have a good idea or two that you can borrow, guess you'll have to stay tuned and see for yourself.
