I am so with you on that one. We have had 2 mild winters in a row. I think our monsoon is going to freeze and we may have winter early.

You know in Newcastle on this morning's radio station 2NURFM it was said that a department store had already taken out its Christmas trees! They are not decorated as yet, but gosh - it's way too early. I wish they would leave all that marketing stuff till the beginning of November. I haven't even thought about Christmas presents yet, but I have made my Christmas ladies luncheon things. I need to do those things early as they are time consuming. Love Chris

I love christmas

I already have seen halloween candy in the grocery stores. I wish we could get through one holiday at a time rather than having one with the trappings for another 3 months down the road. But I confess, I am 1/2 way through 8 sets of coasters that are Christmas presents.

Perhaps we could dwell in summer and then fall a bit first? Back to School? Halloween? Thanksgiving? Advent? I believe in getting all the goody out of each season of life. Also, I haven't been so long-term humid and hot that I am ready to face another bone-chilled winter. I still remember how I longed for the warmth of May-June-July-August-Sept.-Oct. in Jan.-Feb. Blessings.
