I absolutely love November as this is the month each year that I bring out all of my outdoor Christmas décor.  Our family gathers together for a couple of hours of pure holiday joy as we assemble each Christmas decoration, placing it securely in its place for the next couple of months.  After we put the last reindeer in place, we wait for dark when we can really see the fruits of our labor.  Okay, maybe it's not that hard decorating, but we have so many outdoor Christmas decorations that it does take a lot of effort.  It seems every year we add a piece or two so our collection is growing.  But we love Christmas yard décor so the effort is totally worth it.  Then a few nights per week until Christmas, we hop in the car and drive local neighborhoods to see others decorations for Christmas.  It is fun for the kids, and a creative way to enjoy the holiday without spending any money.  Well, maybe just a little money - our trips usually involve a stop at Dairy Queen for a Blizzard!
