I don't know about you, but the older I get the more I want simplicity during the holidays. We often get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

We are 15 days away from Thanksgiving! Seriously, normally we would all be super excited for turkey day, the food, the family, the football but this year with the pandemic, things may be looking a little different for some people. Many people have barely left their homes for things like groceries and necessities, much less are they worried about the upcoming holiday.
