I am so excited that the holidays are around the corner. My husband, daughter and I are doing a week long cruise of the western caribbean for thanksgiving. We'll be in Belize on Thanksgiving day. I am really excited! We'll have our usual quiet Christmas. We love Christmas but our celebrations are more low key than most. It will probably just be the three of us this year so we can just do whatever we feel like. I might actually get a palm tree for our Christmas tree this year. I have a spot in the backyard that I want to put one so we might just bring it in and decorate it before we plant it.

I was surprised that my husband and daughter were willing to go along with it but they are.
