Hi Sis! I loved that cute little Angel! I hope she does take me to " Dreamland " after I watch my favorite Tv shows tonight. I like Grey's Anatomy & Private Practice. Do you watch them? I also need help going to sleep as I don't sleep very well.

I am having such a busy week yet it seems like it's dragging. My kids are all having school pictures this week & book fair so I've been putting out money continously. I just want it to stop already. Do you ever get that way?

To answer your question about Halloween,Hmmm.......that's a difficult question. I used to like it when I was younger & really should love it as my Mom went all out for it. To be honest with you though, I'm not real big on it! I don't mean to offend anyone but I actually think it's kind of stupid. I don't get/understand the whole meaning of it. I basically do it just for my kids & that's it! I don't decorate for it! I put a wreath on my door & some window clings on & that's it! Where I live no one would really see it anyway. We have to go in to town for Trick 0r Treating. That too I only do for my kids! If it was up to me, we wouldn't do it. I'd prefer to buy them some candy myself. I have a best friend who loves Halloween, it's her favorite Holiday & she goes nuts with the decorations & has a massive party! I myself don't consider it a Holiday. It's weird that I feel this way as when I was little my Mom handmade my sisters & I the best costumes & we ALWAYS won in the parades! She had us as " The Wizard of Oz" & " The Old Woman in the Shoe". My Mom was very creative! I just can't get into it. I am fortunate that my sister has my Mom's talent & she made my dd her costume last year.

I like Christmas!!! That's my Holiday!!! I love to decorate for it, I try to do every room in my house with at least a kick knack or something. I especially like Christmas Eve. It's so much fun watching the excitement of the kids as they can't go to sleep & then we wait patiently to put out the gifts. I like making milk & cookies for "SANTA". I like the Christmas morning breakfast together but best of all....it's the whole meaning of it & the togetherness it brings in families! I Love the whole atmosphere! The sights,sounds,smells, you name it!!! I even love the beautiful snow, to look at it but... not to drive in it!

So, what's your favorite Holiday? What do you like best about it?

I will watch for the snail mail!

Talk to you soon!
