My mother always drilled the "no christmas until after thanksgiving" mantra into my head. It's nice to be able to celebrate one holiday at a time. I can't wait to see what kind of roving you carry. I'm hoping something superwash with a touch of mohair in it. Superwash/mohair is my favorite combo for hand spun sock yarn (and socks.) I usually have to blend it myself though. It's a bit hard to find already blended. Sheri – are you a long lost mom of mine? My mother always drilled the “no christmas until after thanksgiving” mantra into my head.

That is so cool! I used to do counted cross stitch and quilting and pillow making in another life. I love those buttons! Do you know if they are one of a kind, or something? I am really happy to hear that you are going to start carrying darning eggs! I have been sort of looking around for darning eggs, but not very seriously. I totally agree on the Christmas music. I have been boycotting our local oldies station since they started playing Christmas music around the clock, 24/7. I like to hear some of it starting after Thanksgiving, but not exclusively. My middle son is a special needs guy, and he has been hounding us to put the tree up since Halloween. But, my youngest son's birthday is Nov 29. We have an unwritten rule that our tree does not go up until Dec 1, but certainly not until after Nov 29th! Our town is super excited. Our high school team made it to the State Championship Playoffs game, which is tomorrow at 1:00 in Detroit. My son plays in our high school marching band, so he, my husband (chaperone), and my special needs son are going down for the game. I will be watching the game at home with my College Guy, on TV. Go Chemics! (I had to give them a little plug. Sorry.) I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving, and especially you, Sheri, WH, WG, KD, and all of the Loopy Elves and Loopy pets!

The pillow is adorable! I like to watch Christmas movies and play Christmas music in July, but otherwise, I'm also in the "if we can't wait until Advent, can we at least wait until after Thanksgiving?" camp.

Have a wonderful and restful day with your family and have fun doing whatever you decide to do today! I returned yesterday afternoon from a 3-day, 1000-mile driving trip back home to Lubbock, and I was amazed at how many people already had their outside Christmas decorations up and ON....and I thought we were early getting them up the weekend after Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful I found you guys! We have the same problem over here with Christmas decorations going up in the shops way too soon (of course they don't celebrate Thanksgiving so there's nothing to stop them---sometimes they go up before Halloween)!

I shall be saving lives and curing people of overindulgence at the dinner table tomorrow...rather than eating turkey myself (so sad). But it's a noble profession, right? And I sooooooo agree with you about this hyped-up, piled-up holiday thing. Thanksgiving is just lost in the shuffle. Why don't we all decorate our houses with corn stalks and horns of plenty for the month of November, instead of jumping right from the ghouls to the gifts???? I'm giving some serious thought to knitting something that isn't a sock. Just got the yarn in the mail............. ::) And a Happy Thanksgiving to you and all the Loopies!

It's nice to be able to look forward to it, instead of having it leak into other holidays... BTW, I've been meaning to ask, where might one (should one be so foolish as to actually do this) find, oh say, a beginning drop spindle spinning book? And maybe a drop spindle and roving? Just an academic question, really... I am SO with you on the holiday music et al.
