As Halloween has just wrapped up, I am already having Christmas thrown at me everywhere. Don't get me wrong. Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year, but I just can't get myself in the spirit untill I unbutton my pants on Thanksgiving... actually, the day after turkey day. I look forward to opening those boxes of Christmas stuff, each item sending me memories of Christmas pasts.
I am driving down the street and my favorite station is already playing Christmas music. The stores are putting all of those promotional items out. As I get older I seem to be getting used to the early spewing of the holiday spirit when leaving my house. Now it is invading my house. This is the reason for this blog.
My family tradition has always been to pull out the Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving. I am now in a relationship with one of those people who wake up the day after Halloween ready to put the tree up. So I call on my fellow bloggers. All traditions change with the people you surround yourselves with as I see mine are.
When does your "holidays" start? I must confess.... His excitement about getting started has given me an early case of the holiday shopping itch, but the decorations, I still believe, should not come out till the day after Turkey Day!
