Not really rushing the season, it's just that we like most people have family strung from one end of the earth to the other. We have a grandson in Iraq, a daughter and son-in-law in Alaska other kin far and wide. Packages have to get in the mail early and so Christmas at our house, and I know yours, is beginning.

Fun pictures! Yes, I guess we ARE supposed to be getting ourselves in gear-some of us really procrastinate, though. L ~ P cobaltbutterfly · 2008-11-22: 18:53

I love that first picture, it conveys your idea perfectly!!! (let me get past Thanksgiving, then I will be full force into Christmas!!!) R urmysunshine · 2008-11-22: 19:18

The first shot is awesome! I can really feel the mood of the season. I tried to go shopping today and just purchased things for the house! This happens to me every year. LOL! My mom does have her tree up already though - which I thought was just strange, but maybe not. Good luck with the shopping and shipping. :) mariaps · 2008-11-22: 21:20

Very good set my friend ! It is true that the season of holiday season arrives, and we want to please both sides, and give our affection and our friendship, especially those that are far and that we will not. The pleasure of preparing and giving is better than what we give ... maudlaurens · 2008-11-23: 04:54
