And the Holiday Frenzy Begins!

Oh.my.goodness! I CANNOT believe that the holiday season is already upon us! We are now 3 weeks away from Thanksgiving and less than 8 weeks away from Christmas! Aaaaaah! This will be our first time hosting either of the major holidays and I still have soooooo much to do to prepare! Don't get me wrong, I'm SUPER excited about hosting Christmas, but my checklist is not getting any shorter.

So far, I still have to:

• Clear out the dining room to make room for new furniture (baby sis, you have GOT to get your furniture!)
  
• Order dining room furniture
• Purchase some home decor items to personalize the space (wall art, pictures, decorative accessories, etc.)
• Purchase Christmas decorations
• Prepare Christmas gift lists
• Prepare Christmas dinner menu

I'm sure there's more to add to that list, but for now, that's all I can think of. But that's plenty! I'm trying to remain calm and relaxed, but it just dawned on me that the clock is ticking and I better get in gear! So as of today, I officially have my running gear and game face on.....let's do this Holiday thang! =)
