CHrIsTMaS, REAllY?

So, first off, happy belated Halloween! The bubs and I headed down to sunny, warm (not) St. George to celebrating the haunting season (I'll post pics tomorrow). After I had taken the dog out this morning, I grabbed the Sunday newspaper to look it over and of course check out the ads. Now, I understand it's November 1st today. I also understand that Christmas is literally around the corner. I'm fully aware of that as I'm currently planning my work Christmas party and also the bosses gift for Alan's work (both parties are on December 4th. While I'm glad they will be both be over early, there is a TON to get done this month! I'm happy to say, though, that I finally figured out what to do for Alan's main boss. Every year we collect money and then I usually put something together. And every year, it tends to get harder and harder.....what do you get the person who LITERALLY has everything? This year I've decided to do the twelve days of Christmas for them....fun, huh? Now I just need to figure out the rest!) Anyway, imagine my surprise this morning as I looked at ad after ad and all I saw was CHRISTMAS stuff! Ugh! C'mon, Halloween was YESTERDAY, give us at least another week, please? How 'bout some Thanksgiving cheer? What happened to Thanksgiving? I know, I'm kind of a bah humbug. Truthfully, I'm not the biggest fan on Christmas (shocker, right?) I love the meaning behind Christmas, but I hate how stressful and commercialized it's become (not to mention the music...I swear they start playing it earlier and earlier every year. I HATE Christmas music! Well, not ALL Christmas music. I think it comes from working in a mall when I was younger!) So, for today, I'm totally protesting and pulling a Scrooge (who said it best)....Bah Humbug!
