Hey~do any of your neighbors have the surname "Hallmark"?<br />Do they work for Hallmark?<br />Do they hold Shares with Hallmark?<br /><br />The shops put the Christmas displays out before the Halloween has Hallowed.<br />And now are neighborhood children think it's an even longer wait for Santa.<br />It needs to be Outlawed.<br />xoxTina :)Sweetinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998505970046722363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594664432434967792.post-67030405969622697502009-11-09T09:55:13.572-05:002009-11-09T09:55:13.572-05:00My kids get very excited when we get down the holi...My kids get very excited when we get down the holiday decorations - I like to put them up early but I would never think of doing it BEFORE THANKSGIVING! That is just wrong. It doesn't help that all the stores switch over early too. I couldn't even find Halloween stuff the week before - they'd moved on to Xmas already.JGHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710652130966518173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594664432434967792.post-90326389285114020732009-11-09T09:21:06.144-05:002009-11-09T09:21:06.144-05:00ugh, i hear you about the christmas decor. i often...ugh, i hear you about the christmas decor. i often wonder, is it because they want to get a head start and get one more thing out of the way or is it that they just want to extend christmastime? either way, i agree it seems to snub autumn and thanksgiving. early decorating and day after halloween christmas ads seem to put me in an anxious "i should be thinking about, shopping for, making things for christmas" mode. i am trying to resist my crazy do it all christmas tendencies this year. having a toddler helps in this area. :)nesting mellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921399375026434743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594664432434967792.post-51678542434601574582009-11-08T09:32:48.166-05:002009-11-08T09:32:48.166-05:00Because I make everything myself, I get a very ear...Because I make everything myself, I get a very early headstart on Christmas decor in the studio, and skip most fall decor just because of time limits. But I certainly don't deck the halls this early!! And I wish I could decorate for Fall a bit more, I love the look. <br /><br />Way too early, I agree.karlascottage.typepad.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09487197986245851745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594664432434967792.post-4081757674402028062009-11-08T08:40:51.805-05:002009-11-08T08:40:51.805-05:00Rant away!

I now understand that it was probably because my Dad took the whole weekend off but I always felt like I didn't matter. Now that I too have a child with a December Birthday, I ASK her when she wants to decorate. EVERY day is important and EVERY Birthday is important. No holiday/Birthday should be overlooked. That said, help me find some Turkey day decorations! btw - where is this new thrift shop and why didn't you call me to go with you?? Happy Sunday. Hope you are feeling great.Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594664432434967792.post-24517154396625347912009-11-07T15:39:13.615-05:002009-11-07T15:39:13.615-05:00I agree.

I love Christmas and seeing decorations everywhere is supposed to give a thrill of excitement. How can you keep that going for three months? I prefer to wait until early December. That way the excitement lasts and doesn't get weary.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16904240359698373279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594664432434967792.post-70250105977032186522009-11-07T12:57:55.017-05:002009-11-07T12:57:55.017-05:00I guess you and I are old fashioned..I try to give...I guess you and I are old fashioned..I try to give each holiday the time and effort it deserves..I just can't for the life of me decorated until thanksgiving is over..like the next day if I have too..I just think it makes it much more special..and I like enjoying each season/holiday for what it is...so I am with you sister..its bad enough that the stores have christmas stuff out before halloween..craft stores I understand..cause you need to get a head start on stuff..but just for decorating..wait till at least november...otherwise I feel like I have missed the holiday that is upon us..:) have a great weekend you wicked wicked girl..:)by the way our lights stay up all year...we just don't light them till its time..:)Cat Nap Inn Primitiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04089694413969995302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594664432434967792.post-17774754191116709152009-11-07T12:41:02.902-05:002009-11-07T12:41:02.902-05:00I agree!
