Yes, in our house Christmas season has begun. It seems to hit mid November around here and sure enough this year has been no different. Christmas music is on, shopping has begun, cards are bought, and decor is calling our names from the storage room . . . but we are holding off on that till the beginning of December. :) We have been taking every Friday evening as a 'date' night as well as Christmas shopping. It is a great night to shop as the stores aren't busy and you avoid the crowds of the weekend. We are starting to get excited for the up coming functions of the Christmas season.
This Saturday I'm going to the 'Lang cousin movie night'. This is my Mom's side of the family and all of the cousins are in the same age span of 12 yrs. Us girl cousins will be watching White Christmas and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers . . .movies our husbands aren't really into. :) Our Grandma LOVED these classic films and we have all grown up loving them too. It will be such fun and I hope this becomes a new 'tradition' with the Lang girls.
This past month has flown by with 'doing life'. Funny how that happens. We have had the chance to catch up with quite a few friends we haven't seen in a while over the past month - from one visiting from out of town, to friendships built over the years, to coffee time with friends from back in my youth. I have come to realize once again how blessed we are by God surrounding us with such quality friends. I have had days of just thanksgiving to the Lord for His richness we seem to walk in surrounding us with friends. He is so good!
