We haven't even opened the remaining bag of Halloween candy yet and folks are already setting up reindeers and scattering styrofoam snow. Please, did you forget about Thanksgiving? You can't skip over the brown and yellow color scheme that connects the orange from Halloween to the red and green of Christmas. I love Christmas but it just seems too early for lights. Like white shoes after Labor Day...just wrong.
We all need to take a moment and focus on the now! Slow down and pick up a can of cranberry sauce and Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup. This is also the perfect time to get out a Paula Deen cookbook. After all, a Southern Thanksgiving=Casseroles=Butter=Coma.
You need a whole month to work off that meal anyway and what better exercise than to climb up and down a ladder and untangling yards of lights. The frustration of finding that one busted bulb probably burns calories too.
So, don't get too ahead of yourself. I promise, if you're patient, Black Friday will tie you over till you hear Bing Crosby or a Disney Mania Christmas Remix on the radio. Nothing says Christmas like the Jonas Brothers rockin' out Adeste Fideles.
And really, you can rush the holidays all you want but you're still required to spend time with extended family.
