Oh my – everyone around these parts (except me) pays for lights to be strung around their rooftop, garland around the entry and wreaths in every window. Pretty, but I just can’t compete with it!

I may opt for a single wreath this year!!!

I’m personally horrified that my xm channel 23 turned into the seasonal Holly channel last week. C’mon.

Husband just returned from Brazil and reports that Christmas is all a-blaze down there….but as they have no Thanksgiving holiday to get through, I figure they have a pass. When he complained to a compatriot that it was a tad early, they looked at him like he was loco — “it’s only a month away,” they admonished.

AND, haven’t yet begun the shopping. Oh, the shopping. 4 am at Target? I think not.

Yeesh. Pass the stuffing.

You are NOT a scrooge! I agree with everything you said/wrote!! The stores frustrate me so much with their Christmas displays before Thanksgiving. Soon they will be selling Christmas in August. We put up our decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving. No Christmas tree, no stockings… just pumpkins and other Thanksgiving-y things. Preach it girl!!

You know people that actually pay others to decorate for them? WOW! I hadn’t heard that one before! I am so with you though, I am not ready for the full blown Christmas thing just yet although I love it! I was just looking at my house too this morning and thought, “Those pumpkins will look good with some garland on them for Christmas!” I just can’t get rid of them just yet! Happy Holidays, Amy! I love your blog and thank you for leading me to this one! 🙂

Oh, you are SO not a Scrooge! We have been hearing the Christmas tunes in the local stores for weeks now. Kohl’s had their ornaments and all that crap out even before the Halloween stuff was gone.

And I hate it. Because I look forward to this time of year so much! I just want it to be for the right amount of time, so I don’t want to scream when I hear “Santa Baby” for the three-thousandth time and it’s only December 3rd.

I try to have all my Christmas decorations and tree up by December 15th. I don’t see the point in decorating before Thanksgiving, unless the turkey dinner is at my house.

Scrooge is cool, so you are all right by me. 😉

I’m with ya Missy. I love Christmas just as much as the next person but TWO weeks ago I saw the Christmas candy canes lining a neighbors yard.
What the What? Two weeks ago was Daylight savings time.
