When I tell people how much I love Twitter the response is often "I just don't get it. I really don't want to know what someone is having for breakfast or if they have to go to the bathroom or that they are tired and going to bed." But I love Twitter because of just exactly that. I can tell you anything and everything. If you're not interested then don't follow. Right now I am following almost 30,000 people. I don't always catch what everyone is talking about. Hashtags ( the pound sign # followed by a key phrase ) are the way I keep in touch with people who are tweeting about things I am particularly interested in. For example, I always follow #TMOM because then I can see what everyone on twitter is talking about when it comes to Travelingmom.com.
The biggest thing is that this is the first holiday back in our house after having spent last year in the Middle East. They don't celebrate Thanksgiving OR Christmas over there. There was a giant Christmas tree at the mall, which was strange. Of course shopping is an athletic event so spending time and money at the malls is encouraged.
We are home this year and we are loving every moment. We celebrated Thanksgiving with a 24 pound turkey - there are still leftovers in the freezer. The minute the Thanksgiving dinner was done we cleaned everything up and the next morning we woke up and started decorating for Christmas.
