We had a great Thanksgiving. My mom came over, and we ate way too much turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, among other things. Yesterday, at my daughter’s insistence, we put the Christmas tree up. This is our second year with an artificial tree, and we’ve never had a tree up this early. It’s kind of nice.
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, too. And while you’re relaxing for the rest of the weekend, here’s some great reading for you!

‘m glad you enjoyed the Family and Finances article. I’m happy that it didn’t turn out bad, as sometimes the two don’t mix well.
Thanks for the mention. :) We’ll be putting up our tree this weekend. We also have an artificial tree, but with built-in lights which makes it easier! (After Christmas deals are wonderful!)
Thanks for the link! We’ll be putting up our tree in the next couple of weeks. We always have a real tree, and it dried out pretty quick last year so we’re going to wait a little longer this year.
Thanks for the link!
We didn’t have turkey this year and I missed it. I am glad you and your family enjoyed it.
