I'm not ready

I'm not ready for Christmas lights, or candy canes, or Christmas carols, or Christmas trees, or Christmas shopping, or Christmas cards, or whiffs of fake pine when I walk through certain sections of the grocery store.

Not yet.  I'm not ready.

I'm still eating peanut butter cups and kit kats from Halloween.

My mind is still on pumpkins, and crisp leaves.

 
Can we just hold off of dreaming of a white Christmas and Santa Claus coming to town? Just a little while longer?

My thoughts... I want to try to keep them on NOW just a bit longer.  Can we stop rushing?  Can't we concentrate just a little bit longer on thankfulness.


Can we at least wait until next weekend?  Can we hold off just a little longer?


Then maybe I'll be ready.  But even then... I'm not promising to be ready.  It's just all coming too fast.

I agree it comes (and goes!) so fast. But I just don't dig any Fall decor. The corn, the leaves, not me. So we're thankful with our tree up.

I agree, it comes on too fast - especially for me this year, working at a store where we had Christmas merchandise out before Halloween and have had (terrible!) Christmas songs playing for weeks now.

I am with you, can we at least wait until after Thanksgiving. All the radio stations are already playing Christmas songs!
