I Saw Decorated Christmas Trees on Columbus Day
As I just typed that title I thought of the movie line from The 6th Sense– ‘I see dead people.’
But in a weird way, that is kind of appropriate, in a ‘this could not really be happening’ kind of way-
Yesterday, it did happen. The day started off like any other, a nice morning, a day off school, a pleasant breeze, the fresh Fall air…
and my son and I were walking through Sears… and he stopped in his tracks…
There, before us, were twinkling lights, Christmas decorations, ornaments and 7,
Yes, 7, Christmas Trees.
I’m not ready for Christmas yet, repeat:
I AM NOT READY FOR CHRISTMAS YET.
Let’s enjoy Halloween, Thanksgiving, my son’s birthday… and then we can celebrate Christmas.
Post Script: We then went to a Halloween store to pick out a costume for trick-or-treating…
weird.
2 Birthday Parties… I’m Recovering
On Thursday I had 22 children in my home for my son’s birthday party; We had games, a magician and a pinata. Thursday evening we had both sides of our family over for a family birthday party. Friday morning we put up our Christmas tree, but my son didn’t want to decorate because he wanted to play with his birthday presents. He then went to my parents for a sleep-over…
So last night my husband and I canceled our dinner reservations, stayed home, decorated our tree…
and relaxed,
and loved it.
And most of all, our son had a great birthday.
Note to self: next year I have our Little Guy’s birthday party somewhere besides our home
