And so come November! We start the month here in Italy with a public holiday called All Saint's Day. I don't recall any particular tradition while growing up, except we were home from school and work and we would have a big family lunch. Nowadays, my kids are more into Halloween as they get to dress up and eats candy and chocolate. But I'm hoping to bring some kind of family tradition for the day this year.
But past the holiday, we tend to start thinking about Christmas already, which is both exciting and stressful at the same time. We also have two family birthdays coming up which require planning and preparation.
So this year I'm making a conscious effort to live the month of November day by day, not making the Christmas/birthday rush getting the best of me and enjoy the small things everyday.
I have a little project coming up for this month which is getting me excited. I will tell you all about it in the next few week....it will involve little time and trees, so stay tuned.
In the meantime enjoy the calm of November before the December storm hits!
