Christmas Musings

Hi everyone!  It sure has been a while since my first post.  I was just checking in to see how everyone feels about Christmas and it's not-so-slow creep into being a full 2-month ordeal.  I for one am all for Christmas and love decorating my apartment but I've realized that I can only handle one holiday at a time.  Since when did it become the "in" thing to throw out your pumpkins November 1st and start putting up your Christmas tree?  Don't even get me started on Black Friday and stores opening on Thanksgiving Day..... Am I the only one that feels this way?  Would love to hear your thoughts!
