Hi, just a lurker who happened on your blog through a google search and wanted to comment on this..

It does seem sort of weird, doesn't it! We heard Christmas carols on the radio, the day after Halloween, this year!

I think it's crazy that Thanksgiving just got the boot in the stores.

I'm so ready to take down all the fall decorations but we wait until after Thanksgiving (usually the last weekend of Nov). We take our stuff down right on January 1 b/c my daughter's birthday is on the 3rd. I like to make sure her birthday does not get lost in the holidays.
