WOW! I can't believe it's crept up so fast already, it seems like just yesterday it was Summer!
OK, so now is the time I am supposed to be getting ready,preparing, and starting some of the fun stuff like making cards, making gift lists, shopping without stress etc.. etc...
So what is holding me back? I think once I get my current commitments met then I will feel better about starting Christmas stuff.
It seems every year the "norm" for the retail stores is to get the Christmas stuff out BEFORE HALLOWEEN,, how is that right? I think pretty soon they will just have Christmas stuff out ALL YEAR LONG! Christmas seems so commercialized anymore. I think this year for my Christmas gifts I am going to TRY to MAKE all my gifts. I mean who needs another DVD anyways? We'll see how far I get with it,, I guess at least my intentions are good.

I stumbled across your blog while I was doing some online research. I felt compelled to respond because it is actually a pet peeve of mine the way holidays are, not only commercialized, but forced down our throats months in advance of when they occur!
