Hello . Time is flying by fast and August Rudy day will be here before we know it.. I picked the book I want to read and hope everyone will like it. The 12 dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss. Magazines. I love looking at magazines with appetizers snacks to have on hand when unexpected company pops in. My favorite movie is Christmas vacation. I love watching that year round . . I don’t do crafts, but this would be a good time to start thinking about your Christmas cards whether you make them or buy them . They are starting to put Christmas stuff out in the stores . Also a good time to think about your activities planned whether you are traveling or going to have company stay with you. If you need to but new sheets. Blankets or whatever you may need . Also, I’m a big movie fan I go to the movies a lot, so I will be checking to see if there any new Christmas movies coming out. This is just the beginning of starting to get things ready for Christmas. If anyone else has any ideas, they are welcome to post.. thank you and I know we are all looking forward to the holidays.
