Tis the Season!

I really do love the holidays; I do! But I tend to get irritated when we jump straight from Halloween to Christmas. Are there no holidays in between? I just hard to find it going from skeletons to Merry St. Nick all of a sudden. And what happened to Thanksgiving? It's like the liaison holiday between Halloween and Christmas. Poor Thanksgiving; you're the reason we celebrate comradery in this country, yet you are skipped over to recognize the night of ghouls, ghosts, and goblins, to the night of baby Jesus' birth and the miracle of Christmas, and of course, The Peanuts...what Christmas would be complete without Charlie Brown?? I am tired of seeing Xmas decorations on sale the week of the 4th of July! How about we celebrate every holiday as it comes, and allow a few weeks prior to prepare and decorate? But then again, America is anything BUT patient and waiting for things! So next year, I will be purchasing my Christmas holiday goods around Memorial Day; that should give me enough time to stock up, right?!
