the lady's prepare the foodstuffs and the guys gather wood or go off exploring. It's neat that the simple things can bring alot of peace and serenity. Much more than getting it from a box. (IMO)

:pEven better Jack. For Thanksgiving (with my coonskin hat on me head truly) today it's more of the same. However, unlike in past years, it's 11 a.m. and my 18 year old daughter and 15 year old son are merely lounging watching the Thanksgiving Day parades.

Also, Joshua has informed all of us that he won't be dressing the part this year. That means I get to keep my moccassins and deerskin pants in the closet. That'll make the boys against girls football (American) game easier.

(Oh now this is just !GREAT! Now the kids are fighting about playing croquet instead of football!!!!) What is that boy thinking . . . Croquet on Thanksgiving . . . must be the French Canadian in him!:p

Finally, we actually do live pretty far out in the country with no other houses in site!:p:D

Dag, was that the Thread wander of the year or what? Sorry Mates and thanks for bearing with me!

Now Cashy, from you I would have expected more support! :>)

Not wrapping yet, only bought cards today, will get those written over the weekend and post the ones that have to be mailed. I just dont feel all thet Christmassy yet, maybe next weekend after the tree gets put up I'll come round a bit. :)

Re: Christmas spendings?

Can't really avoid it here as we have all the grandchildrens stuff and you know how they like to try and find stuff. If its wrapped they won't be able to peep. (hopefully)

Re: Christmas spendings?

Wrapped all my pressies and wrote out family cards. Just got to put up the tree now. but i'll hang fire for a couple of more weeks. lol

That is what I call organised:)

Re: Christmas spendings?

I'm the world's worst gift buyer .... the harder I try, the worse I get. So instead of waiting to see the politely veiled disappointment on the faces of the few I buy for, I give money. Cut out the middle man and get right to brute force of cash.

Happy Thanksgiving, Brian.

Re: Christmas spendings?

Why do I always buy things that are awkward to wrap? Bought some really cute cuddly toys and they were a nightmare to wrap!!
