Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in US. It seems to be like their Christmas. Perhaps they have both.
I've been watching some US TV. It's been about cooking turkeys, and everyone must have pumpkin pie. Several fancy pumpkin recipes demonstrated, which I didn't understand. Top pressies there for kids are computers, iphones, or WII sets.
Think Obama is being presented with his turkey in some special ceremony a bit later.
Tonight, all the little kids will be hoping that Steve Jobs will be coming down the chimney.
Missed am and pm registration - just out of detention. You are a busy lot with all this Christmas planning and shopping. I've got to buy some more stuff for the prize hamper for Saturday at the fair but that's as near to Xmas shopping as I'm going for now.
I'm waiting for OH to ask me what I'd like, I have a little list. Trouble is he likes to go off piste and his surprises are not always easy to be delighted about!!
Have nice evenings all, I have Parish Council tonight so had better go and peruse the papers the clerk has prepared. May just go and see if there's anything on telly to record first, though,
Jo there is now flood prevention on that road from Worcester, Trouble is we couldn't get to the road too much water in between
When Kids were small our child free friends used to come on Christmas Eve and OH and friend OH would get steadily more drunk while trying to stick those stickers that are never on the toy when you get them!
Have to catch up on all posts later. Becks not touched that ****** doll.
Geoff, have you not seen Miracle on 34th Street? Its the believing that makes something real!
Becks, I was deeply unimpressed at the time and just left him there!
Pam, like you my Mum tries to keep to a budget but normally fails!
I still do a stocking for the boys - but the trouble is because I buy them the same things once one has opened it the others know whats coming. I might try and get a few surprise items this year.
My son, new father, asked if I wanted his old Christmas stocking to fill. Pointed out that it was now his job to fill it for his daughter. Said he didn't know what to put in it, I could think of quite a lot but refused to tell him any. He needs to use his imagination, he used to have plenty.
One year he was about 5/6 he told us what he wanted for Christmas was a secret betwweeen Santa and him, so he was not going t tell any one else! In the end a sympathetic teacher, in the days when lessons weren't so controlled, asked the class to cut and stick what they really wanted and sent the pictures home. and yes he did still believe, he was just a really strong believer in magic Bless
I've just found some more stuff for daughter in my wardrobe! That's it, no more. Do need more wrapping paper though, time enough. Must check out card stock too. Will start those next week, in between dealing with workmen & OH, who'll also be here. Garden maybe? Shed? At least am out on the course one day. J.
Break between storms--promised wind never really materialized, but there is a stream flowing down my road. I found some nifty wind-up flashlights--pocket sized, in different colours for stocking stuffers--that and a book mailed to Australia is the extent of my shopping so far. Will try to support the local Island economy--lots of artists and artisans. For the rest, I give money. Grandchildren are teens now. Miss having little kids to buy for.

Oh George, that remark about Steve Jobs coming down the chimney cracked me up!
