It’s Eleven Weeks Until Christmas.

I know it’s October and there are people who are decorated for Halloween. Down the street a neighbor put up a 16 foot scary statue and around the corner there is a 12 foot skeleton. I have not seen many pumpkins yet, but it was a dry summer so they might be in scare supply.

I don’t care a thing about Halloween. My house will probably be dark. I can’t have the candy in the house. I don’t have a child who needs a costume. I don’t have to go to a parade. I am just waiting for Halloween to be over so I can work on Christmas.

I am in my full blown dreaming of Christmas stage. Today I worked on my new decoration of the year. I ordered some gifts. Planned some menus. Worked on my Christmas calendar. I scrolled through some websites to get ideas.

Last year since I was not getting Carter and Claire for Christmas I had both Thanksgiving and Christmas together on Thanksgiving and then continued the celebration all through December.

This year I get them for Christmas, but once I discovered Decorating for Christmas in the middle of December I am never going back. I used to have Thanksgiving and then begin decorating for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. This made the Thanksgiving weekend all about work.

Well I never decorated the house for Thanksgiving and ai love the Christmas Decorating so much the answer is to decorate in the beginning of November and enjoy it all the way though New Years.

Turkey eaten under the mistletoe is more yummy than with a cornucopia. So hurry up Halloween. I am already for Christmas. It’s only eleven weeks until Christmas.
