I consciously avoid looking at the decorations, and I'm very grateful our town doesn't do them until after. Just got back from being blown about with Cole on the walk, admiring the Falls, and bemusedly looking at my bushes at the park.. still budding out, silly things.
And I was very grateful to be back in the warm house, and it does smells lovely, although I'm mainly thankful I only have to do this once a year. I am a lousy cook, and approach doing big meals with a very sincere combination or anticipation, and dread. I usually handle the dishwashing part, where it's unlikely I'll actually food poisen anyone.
Hope the rest of your day is very good, and thanks for this. It's good to remember those things. There are lists, but mainly it's people, friends. *hugs*
