Re: It's November! (poll)
Any big plans this month?
Nothing major
Will you travel for Thanksgiving?
We decided to host it since we couldn't really plan anything for December/Christmas. It is only our parents, our brothers and their others, and we're looking at 19 people.
When do you start your holiday shopping?I have started doing some. I am making some jams, jellies, relishes, DIY crafty stuff for some of the adults, and I have the kiddos started.
Trick or Treeting this weekend
Trans Siberian Orchestra next weekend with DH cousin and his GF, then dinner hopefully.
I need to go in and get the wart removed on my thumb for a 3rd time! Calling today to make an appointment.
Thanksgiving! No traveling. Not sure where it will be
My Blog Picture A Day Blog
Over Veterans day we're going to our friends' home (about 2 hours away) to see them one last time before they have their baby (they are in their late 30s and tried a while to have a baby, so we are super stoked for them!). Other than that no huge plans.
For Thanksgiving we don't really travel, my family is about an hour and 15 minutes away and his family is about 40 minutes away. It should be nice having that long weekend.
Actually, since we weren't getting trick-or-treaters DH and I went to Walmart last night and started Christmas shopping. We have my mom, his niece and my niece taken care of. Boom! I love Christmas shopping.
Any big plans this month? Taking a trip on Thanksgiving break.
Will you travel for Thanksgiving? From above, yes I am
We're going to Orlando with friends and going to the Wizard World of Harry Potter. I'm so excited!
When do you start your holiday shopping? Usually I start at the craft fair that is in town next weekend. I'm skipping Black Friday this year so I guess better get on the ball.
Any big plans this month? Yes! DH and I are going away for a long weekend sans Janie.
Will you travel for Thanksgiving? Yes. DH's brother and wife and baby come here every Thanksgiving so we'll spend it up at MILs. This is going to be our first overnight there with Jane.
When do you start your holiday shopping? My SIL sometimes go to the outlets across the street from MIL over T-giving.Any big plans this month?
Not that I can think of.
Will you travel for Thanksgiving?
No--my family is all here and now DH's mom is here too (even if not, we wouldn't travel to CA).
When do you start your holiday shopping?
I actually had stuff for Taryn for this Christmas before last Christmas.
Any big plans this month?
I feel like this is the month we'll kick into high gear with baby stuff! My shower is on the 12th, then we'll make the shift with the furniture in the guest room/office/nursery, get the nursery together, etc. I'm anxious to get started and excited to have some down time to do it, we've been really busy lately.
Will you travel for Thanksgiving?
Staying local for Thanksgiving, I probably shouldn't be traveling at that point anyway!
When do you start your holiday shopping?
I usually don't start until after Thanksgiving, sometimes shortly before. I haven't even thought about it and am already overwhelmed with trying to think of stuff! I have no ideas for anyone.

Any big plans this month?
Shop til I drop.
Will you travel for Thanksgiving?
Nope. Most of our family is local.
When do you start your holiday shopping?
I've already picked up a few things, but DH has the day off Saturday so we are going to go on a Christmas shopping date.
Any big plans this month? Kayleigh and I are leaving tomorrow for a 10 day trip to my parents in AZ! Really excited about the trip but dreading the 3 hour flight since we're both getting over colds.
Will you travel for Thanksgiving? We're going to Dh's coworkers and fiancees. They live 45 minutes way and in snow/ice on some parts of the road like last year it'll feel like a big long trip
When do you start your holiday shopping?I got one present for Kayleigh already since it was 40% off and I had a $5 coupon but not sure about the other stuff. I don't like doing Christmas stuff til Thanksgiving isn't officially over.
Any big plans this month?
DH's birthday is coming up, but nothing big happening. Long weekend for Veteran's day will be nice-will get lots of work done on the deck/house/nursery.

Traveling? Nope; most all of Tyler's family lives locally, and my family rarely does anything for Thanksgiving other than a meal with me, my brother, and my parents.
Holiday shopping: It's different every year. I mostly shop online, so I'll probably just start doing that in bits and pieces any time now, depending on the sales.

Will you travel for Thanksgiving? Just to our parents' houses. My parents have a 2 pm dinner followed by slovenly watching football, so it works out for us to hit his mom's house for a 6 pm dinner. That night, we'll head back to my mom's and sleep over to do Black Friday in the morning.
When do you start your holiday shopping? I buy Natalie a couple of items per week starting this week. I start extended family on Black Friday.

When do you start your holiday shopping? We've already purchased one gift. I plan to make bath crayons for 3 of the 4 nieces/nephews (other one is too old). I need to get cracking on gifts for others. I hope to make some crocheted ornaments this year.
Any big plans this month? I have a huge list of things to do for the baby so that will be my focus this month. And make/buy holiday gifts.
Will you travel for Thanksgiving? We just decided a couple days ago to drive to MN to see my family. I'll be 35 weeks and it will be a 13-14 hour drive, so we'll only go if I have no medical issues come up and the weather is good.
When do you start your holiday shopping? I really should start now since December is going to be hectic. I usually don't start until after Thanksgiving.
