thanksgiving is like a distant memory...

...because the CHRISTMAS season has officially started!

Today, I hit the stores solo in the morning for some quality kk holiday shopping time. And you know what? I got so much accomplished! (Of course, I was practicing the "one for you, one for me" shopping mentality, but I've found that it works!)

I was able to check off all the little kiddies on our Christmas list, plus I got a few stocking stuffers for family members.

The big question is...what to get for Mr. KK?
(but he sometimes reads my blog...so it shall remain a secret!)

And, besides the incessant – but awesome! – Christmas carols, WE WENT AND GOT OUR TREE! She's a real beauty. Right now, she's enjoying some more 'outdoors' time, at least until next weekend when we're ready to bring her in.

And this week starts my crazy client holiday parties...the first one is Thursday night – dinner in NYC. I even bought myself a little black "Christmas present" today to wear to it.

So let's deck the halls, hang the holly and trim the tree; it IS the most wonderful time of the year, indeed!
