not ready yet...


 
I have been so excited about Halloween and Thanksgiving this year.  I looked forward to decorating and celebrating each one!!!


But with Christmas just around the corner I just can’t seem to get in the mood to deck the halls and FA La La!  

We usually put our tree up the day after Thanksgiving, but this year I would like to wait till Dec 1st.  The kids asked me last weekend if we could start getting the Christmas decorations out and my answer was not just no, but no way!!!

I told them I like to celebrate EACH holiday because each holiday has a special meaning all it’s own.  

Halloween is a time for spooky stories, trick or treating, and such.  Thanksgiving is a time for Turkey, pumpkins, and being Thankful.  And each holiday should be enjoyed for what it is. 

Maybe I am a little reluctant to bust out all the Christmas decorations because I feel each year Christmas keeps getting earlier and earlier.  Stores start decorating as soon as Halloween is over (and sometimes even earlier!!!).  Christmas carols are already playing on the radio. Christmas movies are on TV!!!  You get what I’m saying????

Now, don’t get me wrong I still love Christmas and will deck the halls.  But, I am going to take my time and enjoy Thanksgiving first!  I have a lot to be Thankful for!
