THE HOLIDAYS APPROACH-ETH
SOME SAY That when Halloween is over - and I mean literally when the clock strikes midnight on November 1st - the holiday season has begun. Now this would be an easier concept for me to embrace if I didn't live in Southern Cali, where just yesterday I was at an outdoor birthday party, singing and sweating in the 80 degree weather.
Seriously people, I'm from Minnesota, where snow on Halloween isn't all that big of a fluke occurence.
I think the thing is I need cold weather to accept the fact that Christmas is coming.
Perfect example...WE BUY OUR CHRISTMAS TREE AT NIGHT TO RECEIVE MAXIMUM COLD FEELINGS!
So what about you?
When do get yourself in the holiday mood?
And more importantly, WHEN DO YOU START SHOPPING???
*****some INCREDIBLY LARGE pictures from Halloween of me and my little spooks:-)

Thanksgiving is when I usually start to decorate, but I try to start shopping mid-November since I have to mail so much because we live at a distance from most of our family.
I did, however, buy something for my husband last Saturday night in the duty-free shop on the cruise ship I was on to Cozumel. I hope he likes it cause I can't return it. :grin:

You went on a cruise, Marilyn? How fun! I would so love a getaway like that...
