    When will you decorate?

    in 2014

    Posted

    We put a lot of decorations up outdoors so we'll start early November (after Halloween so nothing gets vandalized).  I usually do all the indoor decorations and put up the tree the weekend before Thanksgiving.  Last year I did everything except the tree the first weekend in November and that really worked well for me.  If kids come home for Thanksgiving then I'll wait for the tree until after they leave.

    How to feed a house full for a long weekend without braking the bank

    I'll have 16 total for 5 nights.  I've already made and have frozen:

    sloppy joe meat mix

    pizza burgers

    ham balls

    cheeseburger soup

    a ham

    to these main dish items I'll add a salad each day, for the sandwiches a container of potato salad from Sam's Club, chips, and for the ham/ham ball meal I already have twice baked potatoes in the freezer and will add green bean casserole and rolls.  I plan to make a frozen dessert and a couple of frozen pies.  For breakfast I just provide toast, eggs, cereal, donuts and muffins and everyone is on their own.  Lunch might be ham or turkey sandwiches.  I got a great deal on the ground beef and ham ball mix and ham.  Buy on sale.  I like to cook ahead of time as much as I can so I'm not a slave to the kitchen when the company is here.  Sounds like you really need to celebrate.  I hope your husband is doing better.

    How soon do you put up your Christmas tree

    in 2013

    Posted

    We do a lot of exterior light and décor so that goes up early Nov. so we can turn on the lights on Thanksgiving evening.  This year I plan to put up all the interior decorations the first weekend of Nov.  (I'm just so in the mood) but won't put up the tree until the weekend after Thanksgiving.
