Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I know most of you are busy just like me, so I will keep today’s post short and sweet. We are celebrating with Turkey and all the yummy sides at my mom and dad’s home in Georgia. Hopefully next year, we will be hosting Thanksgiving in our new home just down the street from my parents.

The holidays can be challenging and I don’t want to assume that they are all happy vibes for everyone. Maybe there is an empty place at your Thanksgiving table this year for various reasons. If you are a Christ follower, he does not promise to spare us from difficult times, but He does promise to always walk with us through the difficult times and that is something to be thankful for. Remember, you are never alone!

Will you be black Friday shopping this year? For the past few years I have passed on this shopping feast mostly because I don’t enjoy crowds or long lines. This year, however, I’m going to give it a go with my daughter, sister, niece, and mom. We will see how long I last! If you are an online shopper, I have some sales you don’t want to miss. You can shop these sales in the comfort of your home with no long check out lines.

I consider keeping up with the sales part of my job, but if I’m being honest I am feeling very overwhelmed with the constant bombardment of of the black Friday frenzy, and it started even earlier this year. I have decided to keep my gift guides and sales posts to a minimum and only share things that I think might make your holiday shopping less stressful…not more stressful! Don’t let the pressure from retailers steal your holiday joy.
