You know, the holiday that uses the evergreen tree and red and green decorations but whose name cannot be said out loud. When I went for groceries on Nov. 1st, Halloween decorations and candies were piled in baskets for removal and the shelves already were loaded "holiday" decorations.<br /><br />I actually thought to myself that Thanksgiving will just be a speed bump on the way to the "holidays."<br /><br />Also, I have gotten sales flyers in the mail that announce "pre-Black Friday" sales for this weekend.<br /><br />I'm already tired, and it hasn't even started.<br /><br />God bless.<br />Bee<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
