Thanksgiving Joy & And a Few of my Favorite Things

Morning, ladies. How are you doing today? It's been quite blustery and rainy in my neck of the woods, so you  might find me hibernating at my desk the next few weeks. While I might hate the cold, the changing of the season does remind me of all the wonderful things to come with the approaching holidays.

I'm linking up with some lovely ladies, for their Thanksgiving linkup.

I know most people want to rush through Thanksgiving, to get to Christmas, but I've always enjoyed my late November holiday. The family, the food and the fun just makes me smile and all giddy inside. We all KNOW we should be thankful every day of the year, but November brings out the thankfulness in everyone and I love watching that joy and happiness. Okay, enough sappiness, on to the good stuff ;)! Here are some of my favorite things about Thanksgiving.

1] The beautiful tablescapes that everyone posts online. I can't wait to have my own home and to be able to host my first Thanksgiving. I already have an idea on what I want to do, but we have at least a year before it sees the light of day.

2] The cute and fun decor. I'm not a huge fan of Halloween decor, but I love the coziness the fall colors and props bring to a home in November. Pumpkins and pinecones, with hints of rustic tones are easy ways to dress up a home for Thanksgiving.

3] The food. LE DUH! I love me some Thanksgiving grub feasting. The turkey, the dressing, the green bean casserole, the cranberry sauce, the mashed potatoes, the yams, and of course, the ROLLS! It's always so hard not to snack the morning of Thanksgiving, but I usually am able to be almost starving by dinner time. After dinner it's time to watch the Cowboys game, nap and indulge in the piece de resistance, the chocolate mousse pie. Yum, yum, yum, is it dinner time yet?

Today, I'm also linking up with some other amazing ladies for a fun Christmas linkup. We're supposed to share our 2014 Wish List and I have to admit it took me awhile to think of some things I want/need. I'm not trying to sound pious, I just don't really have any THINGS that I really want, that aren't ridiculously out there price wise. But, I put on my thinking cap and below is my Wish List for this Christmas season.

wishlist by pinkpersistence

1] Urban Decay glitter eyeshadow // 2] Brown vest  // 3] Monogram necklace  / / 4] Burberry fur hat 
// 5] Chanel perfume // 6] Louis Vuitton purse //

1] Y'all already saw I received the Naked 3, but I still wanted to put it on my list.

2] After seeing some amazing outfits with a brown faux fur vest, I decided it's the next statement piece I want for my closet. Any recommendations? Cheap or expensive?

3] I've wanted an initials necklace with my new initials for a year, but haven't bought one yet. Maybe Santa will bring it to me?! Or Le Husband?

4] A white hat is a must in the winter. Too bad I just decided that now.

5] I want to update my perfume collection and I've heard great things about Mademoiselle.

6] Sigh, Le Never Full, sigh. I want, I want, I need, I need.

What are the must haves on your wish list this year?
