The Business of Christmas
I love Christmas. I embrace the appearance of Christmas decor in stores even before Halloween. I was surprised that a local radio station started playing Christmas music 24/7 on November first, but I embraced that, too. I can hear my little tree calling from the basement (lame that we have a fake tree, I know, but it turns out I'm allergic to the real ones) and I want so badly to start decorating, but I'm too busy. Ironically I'm busy designing holiday cards for a licensing company along with my own holiday cards for my etsy site. And it occurred to me today that people who sell holiday items are always going to be busy right before Christmas. Duh. What did I get myself into? I did hang a new wreath on the front door to get a quick fix and I've clicked the Bing Crosby Holiday station a few times this week on Pandora. With a full work schedule through mid-January I feel the need to jam a little Christmas in where I can.

you're one of THOSE people... hmm. i don't get it, really. i love christmas, too- but i want Thanksgiving first. complete with fall wreaths, pumpkins, harvest themes, autumnal colors. i don't want to see red & green yet unless it's in a leaf. or the food we're preparing for thanksgiving! and i'm SO not ready for the music yet- maybe it's all those years of studying piano & preparing for christmas recitals beginning in september. i'll be ALL christmas as soon as we get Thanksgiving over with... i promise! : )
