It's the most wonderful time....

Yes, it's that time again! Time when fall slows into a dreary blah state and you know winter is around the corner. Thanksgiving is just next week and I'm sure everyone has their plans in place. Husband and I will be having Thanksgiving with family, but we will be spending that Saturday at a great event put on by the Genesee Country Village and Museum. It's called Preparing for the Holidays and features the ways that folks were getting ready for the cold weather and holiday season in the 19th-century. There will be cooking, chocolate demonstrations and tastings, sausage stuffing, smoking hams, chili for lunch, target shooting for the men, and sewing warm winter clothing by the fireside. There will also be a hog butchered that day for the holiday feast! I hope it won't be too cold!

and then....
It will be time for Yuletide!!
