I AM A MOTHER TO TEN CHILDREN, WE DO NOT CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN, WHAT WE DO INSTEAD IS WE START DECORATING FOR CHRISTMAS, NOT EVERYTHING GOES UP BUT SOME WE ALSO START DOING CHRISTMAS SCRAFTS, LIKE MAKING SPECIAL BOXES WITH STONES ANS WE MAKE CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS, WE SIT AROUND THE TABLE EVERY NIGHT AND TALK ABOUT A HOLIDAY DISH WE MAY WANT TO MAKE, A VRAFT WE WANT TO MAKE, THEN WE DO IT, THEY REALLY DONT CARE ABOUT HOLLOWEEN NOW, THE CHRISTMAS SEASON JUST GETS HERE A LITTLE EARLIAR. IF YOU NEED ANY IDEAS, JUST LET ME KNOW.

I LOVE this idea :) I was just teasing my hubby that I might make halloween the night we decorate for Christmas...I did it one year before but it does seem like quite a while to have decorations up (I put EVERYTHING up :) --- anyways please share any and all ideas - fill this thread up with all your great ideas :) :) :)
LOVE IT!!! I've finished getting all our gifts and have almost finished wrapping. Excellent idea!

I'm just not ready for Christmas until after Thanksgiving. I can only do one holiday at a time. lol
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey Sister. I thought I was the only one who did this, don't make me shed a tear. We need to talk a little more. My countdown is on now I cannot wait til Saturday. I started pulling stuff out of storage two weeks ago. I am so excited.

That's a great idea ! Just yesterday I went to the library and checked out some Christmas tradition books and so on. I'll be starting Christmas Workshop this week !
I am letting the kids go to the community church to play games, and then we will be going to our own church. It is a chance for them to socialize and get goodies without the dressing up and knocking on strangers doors.
