This day is finally upon us; November 4th-Election Day in the U.S.A; after a year of lots of talking, debating, accusing, scrutinizing, arguing, and divided opinions; now it’s time to cast our votes.

I watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade; my husband and I cooked Thanksgiving dinner; which included my own recipe of Broccoli pie; then later we went to look at Christmas lights illuminating a castle like building; it was so pretty. Despite; the day’s lack of actual gifts to open; I felt the Christmas spirit more that day than Christmas day itself.
