I will be following the focus threads because my cleaning will be finished the beginning of November instead of just before Thanksgiving.

I will post a short description of each week for the Holiday Grand Plan in this thread with the links.

Happy Holidays!!!

I've been working on this after a fashion.
A bit slower than usual.
Getting a few things set aside in the gift dresser / closet.
Clearing out some books and stuff to make room
it a great feeling.
Hubby has been helping with the entrances and yard stuff.
Have the fall decor items up.
