The Holiday

Turning on my radio this morning to 93.9…Christmas music started playing out of it. What is going on ?!? Thanksgiving is still a week and a half away and we are already promoting Christmas? Does anyone else feel like the fall this year just came and went with the breeze? I love the Christmas season don’t get me wrong, I just think we should enjoy Thanksgiving and the rest of fall first before getting all pumped up for Christmas quite yet. I feel like it is being a little overly forced this year, due to the economy. Granted, I have already noticed a huge change in the stores as well. Lights are going up, Christmas music is now playing over the intercom and there is people everywhere trying to make a dash for the one day only sales. I went to the mall on Sunday with my girlfriend Carrie and I couldn’t believe how many people were there. I don’t mean to sound like the Grinch, I am really excited about Christmas I’m just not ready to give up the fall yet. I guess my hesitation for the Christmas season to start might be due to the fact I’m not dating anyone this holiday season once again. I kind of miss those days searching all over town for the perfect gift to give him and bringing in the New Year’s wrapped in his arms. Those days are long over now and I know someday I will have someone to share them with again but it kind of chokes me up just thinking about it. Even though I won’t be thinking of anyone special for the holidays, I am very grateful for the wonderful family I have. This year I will be spending almost two weeks in Florida with them! I haven’t seen them in a long time so it will be good to go back home and warm up while everyone freezes back here…hehe. Plus, I get to meet my sister Ash’s new boyfriend… I still have yet to approve the guy she has been dating the past six months! So needless to say, going to see everyone back home makes me so happy… I love them so much!
