It’s mid October, which to me means it’s Halloween already, Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, and Christmas is basically next week! With that being said, what is everyone’s feelings regarding the holidays this year? I have personally struggled with holidays in past years but am actually really looking forward to them this year. I have made great friendships and relationships this year and I feel like that will help make a difference in how the holidays go. How about you guys???

I can not believe it’s already Holiday season! I was so excited for fall, but not excited to spend all the money on gifts for Christmas haha! In December, there is 15 Birthdays I think! So it’s always an expensive time a year… ha!
I am partly excited and partly dreading the holidays. It’s historically a hard time of year for me, but I am really hoping to make it a happy time for willow and a new fun time for me! And torry that’s crazy! That’s a ridiculous amount of birthdays haha
Right?! 7 of them are babies in my family and the rest are adults… so atleast 7 of those birthdays will be getting gifts lol!
What do you and Willow do around the holiday time?
Oh yeah you have to get presents for the little babies! The other people don’t matter haha (jk)
Last year was Willows first Christmas and thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was fun, I actually spent the day with my boss and her family which was really fun and so nice because we didn’t have any plans. This year, I’m not sure again what we’ll be doing. Hopefully this year, for at least Christmas we will be in our own place, so that we don’t have to work around rules and can make our own plans!
I’m hoping that this year I start some traditions and begin to have a better and happier outlook on this season
