So, I'm excited about the holiday season. It does seem like the actual holiday is taking forever to get here, however. Even though I know I should be more of a grown-up, I can't help but be enthusiastic. I'm dreaming of my grandmother's homemade fudge and divinity of ambrosia … and chocolate pie and dressing and turkey and ... and …And who cares about the presents??

One thing I do know is that I love decorating. My favorite place during the holidays is my grandparents' house, dripping with lights and tinsel. It's just not so easy for them to decorate nowadays. They are getting up there in age, and will never admit they can't do something — even at age 87. But, it's tough climbing ladders, toting things, positioning those eight tiny reindeer and aligning those life-size candy canes down the front walk.

And what to my surprise did I spy on the List while doing research for a podcast? There are people who will actually come out and DECORATE FOR YOU! How  incredibly fun! I want that job. Can you imagine getting up in the morning and your job is to be a veritable Clark Griswold? Rad!

Happy holidays!
