It is too early for Christmas, you are right! I went to hobby lobby a week or so ago and they had their FULL Christmas section up. Not just phasing it in, they had aisle after aisle of rows with Christmas trees and wreaths and everything...in a way, I think it makes Christmas season less special when you start it too early, because then it just drags on and on! I love Christmas, but not yet!!
As for Halloween, I'm so excited for it this year! Halloween is Landon's last first holiday!! He was born a month and day after you...November 6th! I had the funniest Halloween last year, I LOVED it.
I went up to a college town here and was the DD for some of my friends. I got so much attention. Everyone thought it was a costume since I was ALL tummy (and it was 5 days before my due date!). I was wearing a dress with a tiara, just because so some people thought I was a pregnant prom queen. Other people thought I was Sarah Palin's daughter. lol. And of course, lots guessed Juno. All the drunk college kids would make such huge deals when I would tell them I was due in less than week, it was hilarious.
Then one of my friends kept trying to get me to hold her drink and I wouldn't because I didn't want anyone to think I was drinking. A little bit later, we go outside and she asks me to hold it so she can put her jacket on and it was cold and I'm nice, so I held it and what do you know? I hadn't even held it 30 seconds before someone comes over and tells me to not drink too much and that it wasn't good for the baby!
I also got pulled over twice that night...apparently I'm a TERRIBLE designated driver! (Though I blame the drunk kids trying to give me directions, saying "turn here! oh wait, don't its the next one!" hence causing my swerving!) And both cops let me go since I pregnant and not drunk! One of them didn't even ask for my license and insurance once he saw my big ol' belly!!
ANYWHO...can't wait for Halloween this year. I'm so glad I get to celebrate it twice. Though MNSSHP is much more exciting than any Halloween plans I could have in CO!
I agree, it's way too early for Christmas. Wait until November at least! When it starts that early, I'm over it by the time the actual holiday rolls around. It's overkill! I get that stores are trying to increase their revenue by putting all the Christmas merchandise out early but seriously...it's September!
at your DD story! I would have guessed Juno. We used to have to dress up for Halloween at my old job; I was a waitress at Houlihans. The last year there I was a french maid. One year my friend and I were playboy bunnies. I'm still not sure how management let us get away with that one! I want to be a Jabbawockee this year. I'm a big fan of them and they sell a 'costume' on their website. Now if only I could dance like them...
