ringsandcoffeeNearly time for Thanksgiving here in the US and then a fast ramp up to Christmas. This year, of course, is very different from years past, but the holidays are coming be it Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza, or another significant holiday for you at this time.
1. Have you started decorating for holidays yet or are you going to skip it this year?
Right before I saw these questions, I thought I should get my Christmas cactus out. Otherwise, no, I have not started decorating. I may not decorate because we are moving, current date unsure.
2. Will your gift buying be more local or online this year because of restrictions?
I'd like to go up to Pickle Barrel Trading Post one weekend, because I like it and maybe I'll find some interesting gifts. Otherwise, going to be mailing gift cards to the fam.
3. Will you be doing something ‘extra’ to try and give this year’s celebration a bit more sparkle?
I had not even considered anything to that effect.
4. No parties this year, but how are you reaching out to family and friends to wish them well?
I'm invited to Sarah's small family gathering, as I was last year. Otherwise I'd be home alone for Thanksgiving. I can't travel to see my own family for Christmas either, so I'll prob spend it with hers as well.
5. Do you believe in Krampus? If you don't know who it is, follow the link.
I'd not even heard of it until a few years ago.

Date: 2020-11-21 04:51 am (UTC)1. We still have our fall decorations up, but I'm slowly getting the Christmas decorations out and ready.
2. Most of my buying has been on line so far, but I am planning to shop locally downtown where I am - they have lovely boutiques and shops there.
3. More lights, less big presents.
4. Mostly with cards and Zoom calls.
5. I sure do!
