Wedded Wednesday: A Different Holiday

With holidays upon us, the hubby and I already have a few events on our schedule. I enjoy the holidays and would like to do some different things this year. There are events going on all over my town that I have never attended, so this year the hubby and I each choose one event of the holiday season that we would use as our date night. I had a hard time trying to decide on what I wanted to do, since there was so many choices. Of course I took the easy way out and choose something that I could be warm and cozy...in a car. I chose for us to attend the lights at our local reservoir. To see the lights, you just pay a fee, about $5.00 per car, and you just drive through and see all the wonderful lights. I thought it was a good choice, especially since all the money goes towards our local Special Olympics.

The hubby choice for us to go and see the Wild Lights at the Zoo. It sounds fun. I will just make sure that I bundle up.

I think that this is another way of us building our own holiday traditions while spending time together. I will update you on how the outings went. I can not wait.

Are  you doing anything different or new this holiday season?

I really want to do a Christmas dinner for friends this year! The hubs is not convinced yet but I haven't expressed to him how much I want to do it. So hopefully, I will convince him soon! :)

I love seeing all the lights around town, esp. the houses that are all decked out!

Sounds like a fun date nights ahead!

Every year I say that I want to do something different for Christmas, but I never plan anything. My Decembers always seem to be ridiculously busy. I would like to go to the murder mystery dinner theatre and see their Christmas show. But we will see what happens.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Thanksgiving Traditions

With the holidays coming,  I am thinking about how I want to spend them with the hubby. We do the same thing every year for Thanksgiving and make a road trip to spend it with his family. I usually go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving starting at 3:00am and usually come home and sleep the rest of the day. I was looking at starting some sort of new traditions on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that we can do for years to come. Maybe like putting up the Christmas tree (this is my vote), taking an annual holiday photo, doing some shopping together or maybe doing something relaxing like getting a couples massage. Of course, we will have to throw in some football and lots of left overs whatever we decide to do.Building new traditions, will be the traditions that will continue in our family  and define the holidays for years to come.  Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
