Too early, right??
I love the holiday season, and all of the decorations that go with it, but November 1st is just a little too early. Our new neighbors decorated their house over the weekend, and by decorate, I mean dump at least $1000 worth of light-up Christmas figurines in their (tiny) front yard.
And it's not just them. I've already seen a couple of commercials, and the stores have been pushing it for weeks already.
It really takes away from the novelty of the holidays. By the time Christmas rolls around, I'm going to be Christmased out.
Vent over.

The gluttony is probably one of my favorite parts about Thanksgiving! And the turkey and pumpkin-everything. We only celebrated the holidays with my immediate family growing up, so I like celebrating with J's extended family.
I also like Thanksgiving because to me, it's the official start of the holiday season.

I don't like the rush of Christmas, but Christmas is absolutely my favorite time of year so I'm excited. I just love the spirit and the mood of Christmas.
Don't get me wrong though. I love me some Thanksgiving! While my day-of meal is not the best, my follow up meal is pretty kick ass

Amer- I am totally with you on the sentiment about Thanksgiving. I don't need a day and a meal where everyone eats way too much and gets obnoxiously drunk off wine to be reminded that I have lots to be grateful for. (And, while I'm on that topic, I love the little ecard on FB that says something about how silly it is that those people who b****h and moan all year are usually the same ones who do that listing of a thing to be thankful for every day in November!).
I don't like pumpkin flavored anything, I don't like pies, and I don't see my family for Thanksgiving (we do that one with my MIL and her family)...without getting into a huge list of complaints, suffice to say I am totally fine with skipping turkey day in my head and moving on to Christmas
I also have most of my shopping done, but that is just to lessen the stress and to be able to enjoy the holidays, parties, etc.... Wrapping will happen in between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
We may put our lights up prior to Thanksgiving, just because it is more comfortable weather wise to be out there doing them. However, they will not go on until the Friday after Thanksgiving at the absolute earliest! Decorations will also go up that week end as well.
