Holidays

It seems that most holidays have their own time, except for Halloween and Thanksgiving. It seems like it goes 4th of July, then a little mention of Halloween, but then it goes straight to Christmas. It's just interesting. I noticed that the minute November hit, there was Christmas stuff out in the stores (in some stores it was out before then) and now that thanksgiving is actually over, the Christmas push is really out there.

Now, I'm not against Christmas, but I'm all for giving the holiday's their own time. I'm one of those people who doesn't put up the tree (if I put one up at all) until about Dec 20th, and it tends to come down about the 30th or Jan 1st. Jakob likes having the tree up, and maybe because we now have our own home and there is a bit more room, we'll see about putting it up. We've never been able to put up the entire tree, so it'll be interesting to do so this year.

But Thanksgiving was fun! We had so much food and all of it was simple and good. My mom made an amazing soup yesterday with most of the leftovers, so it's all good.

We're still trying to get things organized in the house, but after today everything will be out of the apartment. We've been trying for the past couple of days to get the stove out, but either we've been busy with the BYU/Utah game prep, or we were just tired from all the moving so we needed to take a break from moving.
