Christmas Around the Corner

Every year I take a healthy amount of ribbing about my love of Christmas. I tell everyone the secret is to start early. Yes, I’m one of those people. Some of my presents are already bought and wrapped. OK, I’ll wait for your groans and laughter. Now…

Last night I was thinking I would write a blog entry about this very thing and point out to people that this weekend will be five months until Christmas. So, if you want to get your shopping underway before the holiday rush you have four months – that’s 16 weekends – to do it. You could also be planning holiday gatherings, addressing your Christmas cards or whatever else you like to do for the holidays. The point is, if you want to be enjoying the holiday season you can’t wait until the last minute to get going or you’ll be overwhelmed. Well, I will – maybe you won’t.

So, last night I was thinking about this and then I thought… no… I’m just not going to write that. I’m not going to go there. People will be annoyed, thinking I’m pushing the season.

But, then today at lunch with Jade I got a call from Greg who had been to Hobby Lobby with a friend and had found…. are you ready… yes… it’s true… their holiday decorations! I was at a restaurant who’s parking lot joins Hobby Lobby’s so I trotted over there to look at them. I even snuck the photo.

So… I’m just saying… this is the time to get started if you want to have a relaxed holiday season…
