Thanksgiving was Thursday, and by Friday afternoon the fall decorations were coming down and the Christmas-themed decor was arriving in my parent's home. There's something special about a home decorated for the holidays; I love enjoying a lit and ornament-covered tree, scents of mistletoe (thank you Yankee Candle), and accents of red throughout each room. Here's a peak at the decorating festivities that occurred while I was home.

| The finished product, minus the gold garland that we forgot to put on this year. |

| Dad scales the roof to hang Christmas lights from each and every peak. Year number 12 without any accidents! |

| Bailey the reindeer. Doesn't she look so happy?! |
The Christmas cheer came to a depressingly quick stop when my drive back to Charlotte took nearly 5 hours AGAIN. I'm now 3 for 3 trips taking 5 hours instead of the more appropriate 3.5 hours.

| We sat like this at a complete stop for more than an hour. All for a "fender-bender" involving just 2 cars but 5 police cars. Thank you officers for royally destroying the afternoon holiday traffic on 85 North. |
The only saving grace to the drive was the amazingly delicious turkey sandwich I enjoyed for dinner.
Great Harvest Stuffing Bread + Organic Turkey + Mustard + Cranberry Sauce. Yumm!
Yeah, that traffic was bad. It took me almost 6 hours to get from Canton to Charlotte yesterday.
