The Holiday Rush

It is October and the Halloween candy has been out since the last week in August. . .really.  Then I went into work today and a customer asked for stamps.  The stamps had Santa Clause riding a sleigh.  And around the corner right next to the Halloween candy were Christmas decorations.  Seriously.  There was tons of Christmas stuff--holiday wrapping paper and ribbons, Christmas tree ornaments, Santa hats.  And it was only October!

I just think it's crazy how every year the stores seem to put out holiday stuff just a little earlier.  Before you know it we'll be stuffing turkey, then people will be putting up Christmas light, watching it snow outside and bundling up in hats and scarves.  Then we'll be celebrating a brand new year, waking up on January 1 slightly hung over.

But for now, for the next few weeks, I'm just looking forward to the fall leaves changing colors, Halloween, maybe carving a jack-o-lantern and cups of warm apple cider.

Happy fall everyone!   I hope everyone has a chance to stop and take a minute to enjoy fall and Halloween before the craziness of the holiday season gets into full swing!
