Hey you guys!! Wow, I can't believe November is almost over!! So crazy. I am trying to get excited for Christmas, and I think it's working! It's challenging this year with COVID causing so much stress and just changing everything, but we're trying really hard to enjoy this holiday season. Like, LOTS of effort going into it. Our Fall ended up going well, and I think we did most of the things on our Fall Bucket List from my last post! We didn't end up buying pumpkins or gourds (so we also didn't carve the pumpkins or roast any pumpkin seeds), but I think we did everything else! So, that's pretty good I think! I hope you all had a happy and safe Halloween and Thanksgiving!
Today we decorated our house for Christmas! We'd started on it a week or so ago, and then yesterday morning we went to Home Depot early in the morning to get our tree from their outdoor garden center, and it was GREAT because we were literally the only people there shopping for our tree. And then we got the tree all set up in the tree stand at home, and then just let it relax for a day before we tried to put lights on it and decorate it! So, today we did all of that fun and our house is feeling very Christmas-y! I'll take pictures and post those soon. I have also been working on a pandemic-safe Christmas Bucket List, which is MOSTLY going to be movies. I'll post that and the movie list below!
We are also doing advent calendars this year, because that just seemed like a really great thing for this year so we have a little something exciting to look forward to every day to try to make December more fun. I can't really do chocolate advent calendars nowadays because of my soy allergy, so we had to look for other options. We got cheese advent calendars from the grocery store (yay cheese!), and then we also wanted beer advent calendars, but that isn't really a thing here in PA (PA has VERY strange laws about alcohol... It's confusing and weird), so Kevin made beer advent calendars for us!! He picked out 24 individual beers for us (a few places around here sell individual bottles so you can build a 6-pack, etc), and he's organizing them into an order that will be fun for December! I have no idea what any of the beers are, so they will all be a surprise to me :). So, both of those things will be starting on Tuesday and I am EXCITED (so my thought process for advent calendars has worked so far!).
