It's Not Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

Today we were supposed to start decorating, but my husband was not feeling well, so instead we watched a couple of Christmas programs. We watched Die Hard because my husband does not think it is Christmas unless he has watched Bruce Willis in that great action flick. It does have some great lines and comic moments! No we are watching The Krancks. It's not a great movie, but it is kind of fun. I read the book a couple of months ago, so wanted to see the movie. I am taping a Christmas movie on Hallmark to watch later. I think it is called A Grandpa for Christmas, but I don't remember for sure.

Tomorrow the kids and I will head to the Bedford Christmas parade. And we will be helping Daniel pack and if we are lucky, maybe we will get a little decorating done too. Daniel leaves at 6 a.m. to head to his new contract in Bloomington, IL. Sunday afternoon, the children and I are driving to Danville to listen to the pianist, Emile Pandolfi. A few months ago, a friend of ours gave us tickets to go this concert. We are really looking forward to it. We are sad though that Daniel will miss out on it. It will be the first time any of us have seen a professional pianist in concert.

So while it doesn't look a lot like Christmas today...hopefully by the end of the weekend, it will....a little bit anyway! What are you doing at your home to begin the month of December and get ready for the holidays?
