Being Thankful

I have so much to be thankful for.  Just having another Thanksgiving is something I am very thankful for.  I am also thankful my fall mums were so pretty this year.  
We had a wonderful dinner and the only sad part was the little babies didn't get to come as they were sick.   Hope everyone feels better soon, fall always seems to mean cold and flu season.

Now, it is time to get ready for Christmas.  What are your favorite things to do to prepare for Christmas?
Mine are sewing, now that I have an embroidery machine, sewing has a new meaning.  Love baking especially cookies and candies for the guy's.  Then there is decorating, adding little touches of magic all around the house.
