Well, it's that time of the year again. What, Halloween, you ask? No. Oh, okay- Thanksgiving then? Nope. Keep going. Christmas, you ask with wide eyes? Yes. It's Christmas. Merry Christmas everybody. I know it's only the middle of October, but I dragged out all the decorations, put up a tree, shopped for and wrapped all the gifts, and I'm wearing my Santa hat. I'm also singing Jingle Bells all the time. Cause it's Christmas.
Honestly, Christmas comes earlier and earlier every year! What's the dizzle, my pizzle? Wal-Mart almost pees it's pants to get the decorations up, and I'm still reeling from Columbus Day!
The LEAST they could do is wait for a cold snap! I don't want to buy mittens and scarfs for my loved ones while I'm still wearing a T-shirt and flip flops. It just ain't right, people.
::On a side note: I am about 65% done with my Christmas shopping. I guess I'm one of those consumers swayed by the premature decorations. I hate myself.::
You can't skip halloween.

Posted by: Aunt Vickie at October 16, 2003 05:24 PMI envy you. I haven't done any shopping. I always wanted to be "one of those people" but it hasn't happened yet. You, my cousin have got your act together!
Posted by: Rhonda at October 16, 2003 11:22 PMWe do our Christmas shopping at the "After Christmas" sales for the following year. We then stash the gifts in the attic for the next year. The kids are never the wiser and won't be so long as none of ya'll tell them.
