November. Already.

I’m not a moron, okay?  I realize that November comes after October in the great scheme of things.

But I still can’t believe it.

How EXACTLY did this happen?  I mean, we are heading straight for Christmas.  FULL STEAM AHEAD. Can somebody slam on the brakes for me?!

I’m barely feeling fall-ish. I’ve not ONCE rolled in a pile of leaves.  Not ONCE had a cup of cider. Not ONCE baked pumpkin seeds.  And now, well, NOW I might as well be drinking egg nog.  My kids even asked to watch a Christmas movie last night.

Our weekends have started booking up.  You know that pre-holiday scheduling that everyone does?  I’ve already been invited to a holiday party.  My husband is leaning on me to start Christmas shopping.

Is everybody NUTS?

I am suddenly feeling like Scrooge.

    The rest of the world is crazy not you. We had Christmas decorations in the stores this year at the same time as the Halloween decorations.

  4. You are definitely not alone in your disbelief that it is November. I can hardly see straight when I look at the calendar.

    What is really scary to me? Christmas shopping!

    My mom asked me to start putting together a list of present ideas for my daughter. I told her to get back to me after Halloween. Seriously, though. Do we need two months to prepare for Christmas?
