'Tis the Season

Frankenmuth - 2024
Before Thanksgiving, we decided to take the kids to Frankenmuth for a small day-trip. We wanted to go before it got too busy for the holiday season and I was hopeful that we could take a few pictures and find one that would work for our annual Christmas card.
By lunchtime, everyone was hungry so we stopped for a family lunch on the way home and talked about our plans for decorating for Christmas. Thanksgiving is late this year -- in fact, it is the latest date that it can ever be (November 28th) -- so we won't be setting up our Christmas trees until NEXT weekend, after the holiday. I know that a lot of people like to decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving, but I am not one of them. While I love Christmas and all of the magic and sparkle, I also love Fall and want to make both of the seasons last as long as they can.
