starting over: holiday time!

Halloween is officially over. Tomorrow is Election Day. You all know what that means…

No, I’m not going on a political rant. I don’t care what your political views are. I do care though, that you exercise your civic right to vote. If you voted, you can complain and be as political as you want. If you didn’t vote, you have no right to bitch about one single little thing that has anything to do with politics.

Seriously, I said no rant… Halloween is over, tomorrow is Election day… that means, it’s officially the Holiday Season. I love the holiday season! I especially love the holiday season because I have amazingly wonderful friends and family to spend time with! In going through my calendar for the next several weeks, through the end of the year, and as usual, November and December are JAM PACKED:

This week is Graham’s mom’s birthday.

Next weekend is Camdin’s Friendsgiving, and also the Chicago Food & Wine Festival, which I won tickets to through Yelp! (After that, I’ll have an AMAZING blog post, I’m sure.) That weekend Graham is also out of town for Deer Hunting season.

The following week is Thanksgiving. Immediately following Thanksgiving is both the HPHS and BGHS 10 year reunions, which I mentioned earlier.

The weekend after that, Graham is gone again for deer hunting, and my buddy Jim is having a wine tasting party (yummy!)

The following week is my mom’s birthday.

The following weekend I’m hosting an Ugly Sweater holiday party for my pals. More on that in a soon-to-be post.

The following weekend another of my friends is hosting their annual Twelve Drinks of Christmas party.

The following week is Christmas, and the week after that is New Years.

If you’ve followed me this far, you realize, as I do, that we have just over 8 weeks until 2012 comes to a close. That’s ridiculous. 2012 has probably been the fastest year OF MY LIFE.

Anyway, I love holiday time. When I grow up, I’m having a Christmas tree. And I’m going to decorate my abode in holiday things. Like these:
