14 thoughts on “Uncomplicated Thoughts: Please wait Christmas”
I agree with you. I wish they would at least wait until Thanksgiving is over to start with Christmas, but, they don’t. I saw some Christmas stuff out in October! I buck the system and try to experience one holiday at a time. It can be hard sometimes though. Some days, I do long for simplier times.
Tippysmom2, I really thought that you would comment. Getting to know my blogging friends. You are so right. I buck the system as well. It’s really easy for me, however, I do wish for that slower pace, that anticipation. Now that takes some work. Peace and blessing from me and Brodie to you and yours.
Am I too predictable? Growing up, we would go out into the field and cut down a tree, but wouldn’t get it until a week before Christmas so it wouldn’t dry out and cause a fire….that was the days of the huge bulbs on the strings of lights that really did get hot. I loved the anticipation and surprises of Christmas morning. One year, I accidently found some of the presents and cried all day because I thought I wouldn’t have a surprise. Peace and blessing to you too, from me and Tippy.
I hope you are right. Our stores had Halloween, Thanksgiving overlapping & sharing space. It’s my uncomplicated thoughts that cry out for less things…less about the presents. We’ve done a good job with that…just hope others could find that as well. Peace
I always think the crafting stores are the worst about the overlapping holidays – but at leas there is some reason for that, as if you’re doing crafts you probably need the crafting items before the holidays to get everything done!
I cannot quite wrap my head around the fact that Christmas is so close. I have yet to start my shopping. I wanted to enjoy and experience Thanksgiving first.

I’m trying to do “experiences” instead of focusing on shopping. We are having fun just enjoying sights and songs. 🙂

Yes!! I agree. The special moment is always better than the commercial part.

Maybe it is just here, but I felt like stores held off a bit on Christmas a bit more than the last few years.

Now that is a keen observation. I’m not a crafty person and had not thought of that angle. Peace
