Christmastime is here...
Thanksgiving is over and Christmastime is here. I have managed to put up the 7 ft tree, decorate it and hanged all the ornaments. Ive put a wreath by our bay window and a talking snowman right by the door. Santa and Mrs. Claus sits by the front porch window and some Christmas stockings made of aluminum hanging by our mail box. Ive also added another wreath with lights right beside the door. Ive been meaning to set up the Christmas village set beside the tree and add more decorations but I dont have the strength and energy to do that at this moment. But today is November 30th and tomorrow is December 1st already so whether I like it or not, I have to work on the finishing touches of our decorations before the week is over. :) I really dont mind though since Im really a Christmasy person. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. Still working on the Christmas tree, I still need to hang some more ornaments and fix the trimmings and decorations.

Happy Thanksgiving!
We are spending Thanksgiving at Patrick's mom's place. I am bringing the pumpkin pie I baked last night and we are also bringing some grapes and pound cake. Its going to be a small gathering because there's just 7 of us who will be having Thanksgiving dinner together.

Boston and the trip back...
Went to Boston with Patrick for some business matters. Here are some pictures taken during our 4 days stay in Boston. We didn't really get to do a lot of dining and visiting around because of the schedule we had to follow the whole time we were there. It was also cold and damp, raining all the time we were there so as much as I can, I just stayed indoors and tried to rest in the hotel room. Here is a view of the busy streets of Boston outside our hotel room ... 
The Boston trip was so frantic and hectic. I didnt sleep well because the hotel where we stayed is right in the middle of the busiest streets of Boston. We were 5 minutes away from Harvard/MIT campus and the Harvard Conference Center where the convention was held and there was a hospital right across the hotel where we stayed so I would hear the sound of siren blasting every now and then and the sound of cars honking their horns as early as 5 am. The drive back from Boston to PA was just terrible. Traffic was bad, there was a lot of construction and we had to change route several times. We got lost and missed our exits several times, making us very frustrated and tired. It took us longer to get home, it should have just taken us 7 hrs to drive back but it took much longer to get home. Anyway, when we got home, we had about 4 days worth of mail and packages in our mail box and front porch. I found this particular package waiting for me. 
Its a package from Benz sent through the kindness of Cheryl N. [thanks so much, Che! Appreciate your taking time to bring this to the US, pack it and ship it to me] and this package had tons of goodies for me...
Hello Kitty stuff
(stickers, collectibles, stamp sets, etc)
and these...
Precious Moments ornaments
Hello Kitty goodies and Precious Moments stuff... these are a few of my favorite things!
Thank you so much Benz for the stuff you sent. That's really so sweet of you! It brightened my day and I now look forward to decorating our tree because I have more Precious Moments ornaments to hang. :)
