When fall started, I didn’t think summer was officially over. It’s still 80+ degrees in Ohio. People are still sitting outside to eat. The Indians are still playing baseball. Summer’s still hanging strong but then it happened…
A trip to Wal-Mart ended summer for me. I was looking for some chairs for my balcony and spotted the nail in summer’s coffin, Christmas decorations. The workers were removing the patio furniture and outdoor decorations and putting the aisles and aisles up of Christmas items. The Halloween costumes have been up for weeks already. That brings me to the so-called holiday at the end of October, Halloween. I don’t know why exactly but I never have liked this day. It’s the whole dressing up thing for me, trying to figure out what to be and everything. My friends’ son loves Halloween, for him, it’s bigger than Christmas. Maybe it’s because I don’t get the candy anymore…

We usually have a huge family friendly Halloween party. But for multiple reasons, it’s not even on our radar this year. Sad. So imagine my disgust when I went to Target to lament on my holiday lost and saw the Christmas cards already out! I’m with you — waaaay to early for decking the halls.
