It's too early for Christmas!

I'm holding on to Fall as long as I can.  Check out our jack-o-lantern......it's still kickin'!  Kind of....

It was an owl silhouetted against a full moon.  Now it's just kind of a moon.  Or a hole.  With some bugs inside.  Guess who punched out the owl?

Watch it buddy or I'll punch out your owl!

I love Halloween.  I like to savor it.  The kids Trick or Treat.  I sit by the fire and eat chilli and drink wine.  Sounds like a good combo doesn't it?  This year hubby had to work, which was a downer.  But, we did live it up the Saturday before Halloween at Trunk or Treat at church.  Check us out!

Once we got to the party, I drew a ginormous bushy moustache on Husband.  When he went outside to give out candy, it was a little chilly, so he put on his gray sweatshirt.  To complete the stalker look, he didn't even stand next to a car for Trunk or Treat....we were leaving for another party right after and I did not want to have to dodge little kids dressed in black at night to get out of the parking lot, so we parked on the other side. 

Sooooooo, here's what he looked like.

Hey there kiddos!  I also have puppies in my van!  Come and see!

He went from Homecoming Court to creepy guy in 2.2 seconds.   Heee heee heeee it was hilarious.

I do love Halloween.  I just love Fall.  And where has it gone?  What about Turkey Day?  We need to make time for that!

Two days after Halloween, I went to Walmart.  They were playing Christmas music!  That is not what I want to hear on a dreary, rainy Fall day.  And, I do love me some Bing Crosby.  But, not when there are dead, brown leaves blowing around in my yard.  Only when it's freezing outside and I see a few flakes in the air.  Oh, and after the calendar says at least November 25th.

I want to see some more brown, orange and yellow.  Some golden-brown turkeys glistening with butter on a well-set dining room table.  I want to smell rolls and stuffing when I walk into Kroger and hear a little Muzak....and not the holiday kind.  Just some elevator music.  I'd like to hold off on Christmas until I see the big guy in the red suit at the END of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. 

But, you know who wishes Christmas would start as soon as possible?  Like....tomorrow?  This little guy.

Oh yeah baby!

He has already told me the things he wants for sure.  They are, in no particular order:

Walkie Talkies

Book Light

and.........










The Easter Bunny!

I bet he wouldn't want this one though.....

Yikes!!

At least he's being strategic.  Easter Bunny for Christmas = lots o' candy ALL the time...not just on Easter!  Jackpot!

I guess I better go set some traps for that darn bunny. 

Hope you are enjoying this FALL season!
