I've been seeing holiday stuff already!! It's the "get started now so the holidays aren't so stressful" press. Shutterfly has a special on holiday cards, my radio station just started making announcements that in November they're going all holiday music (I do kinda like this), my mother is bugging me for Christmas lists from my family, Christmas is creeping into the Halloween aisle at Target, Walgreens, and the party stores, etc. I'm just not ready for this yet. I don't want to give in to external pressures but I know that if I don't start now things will be nuts come December. Sigh... Whatever happened to just a tree, dinner, music, a fire in the fireplace, and a few gifts for family. I don't want to lose sight of what the season is supposed to be about either.

I hate that the Christmas stuff and Halloween stuff are sitting side by side in the stores now. That just seems ridiculous to me.

OH gosh I know--seems like Halloween has been forgotten or overcrowded with Christmas stuff already!

Even our grocery store has holiday cards and such down the same aisle as the Halloween candy, it is horrid!
