Yeah it is that time of year again. Time to start my holiday shopping. Wait! Isn’t it just barely Halloween? Well I would not be able to tell by the Christmas commercials and decorations I am seeing. I went to the craft store about a week ago just to look around. And what do I see? All of the Halloween stuff was already being discounted to 50% off and the rest of it was being put away. And of course all the Christmas stuff was coming out and being displayed.
Then on Tuesday Robby and I went to a local tack store so I could get a couple new brushes for Kooper. Well there was not one Halloween thing out. Yep, you guessed it. It was all Christmas stuff! Do not get me wrong, I love Christmas. It is my favorite Holiday. But I do not even want to think about it till at least after thanksgiving.
When I was younger, I loved Christmas because of the presents of course! I was a spoiled rotten child who almost got everything I wanted. I hate admitting that but it is very true. I do not come from a wealthy family. Somehow, my parents always managed to make my Christmas fantastic.
Now I love Christmas because it’s one of the only times my closest family members are all together under one roof. And It is an awesome feeling. We all get together and chat, laugh, play video games and of course eat. But it’s also a great time to catch up and see what everyone else is up to.
This year I am flying up to SoCal to visit my family and friends for a couple days, and more than ever I am really excited about it. I am bummed because Robby has to stay up here and work. But I really need this and he understands and respects that.
Ok, enough with the holiday babbling. Jeez you see what I mean? I probably would have not even written this blog if it weren’t for society’s obsession with Christmas.
Ill update about what happens with Kooper and the farrier tomorrow. I pray that it all just goes smoothly………
