It touches my heart to know that many of you like this tradition of mine. I&#39;m going to be sure to blog about it again next year, and the next, and...as a way of ensuring I keep the tradition alive with the help of my wonderful online friends.<br /><br />Thank you again so much, everybody, I hope that each of your months are off to an excellent start! <br />♥ JessicaJessica Cangianohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-23013179523347925512009-11-02T17:20:45.307-05:002009-11-02T17:20:45.307-05:00Your outfit and makeup looked lovely, dear. Pity about no T-o-T arrivals. Halloween just isn&#39;t what it used to be. :(<br /><br />Forgive me for skipping over the Christmas portion of your post. I tend to go lalalalalalalala and block out Christmas things in a rather bah-humbug sort of way until at least the week after Thanksgiving. I&#39;m slowly losing this battle, with the allowance of the 5 others in my family to watch Christmas movies starting yesterday. *sigh* 5 to 1, it&#39;s hard to beat, even if you&#39;re the Momma.Courtneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627486842394330335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-13634220788146150502009-11-02T10:38:28.641-05:002009-11-02T10:38:28.641-05:00What a fun tradition! I hold back, grimacing, as best I can until the day after Thanksgiving.

Fortunately, my mother loved to hear anything I would play on the piano so she never tired of hearing it...I don&#39;t know about the rest of the family.( HeHe!) Love this post...thanks for the memories!
