Sweet dreams...


Do you know what the scariest part of tonight is?

It's not the spirit world crossing over to the living world for one night.  It's not the haunted houses, zombie-clowns or scare-your-pants-off Halloween movies playing on every channel.  It's not even the excitement-fueled, sugar-high children running around the streets like a terrifying version of Frogger.

It's the fact that tomorrow is the beginning of the holiday season.  Only 21 days until Thanksgiving and seven weeks until Christmas!

Have you planned your Thanksgiving table settings / menu / guest list?  Been practicing your trickier Thanksgiving specialties?  Have you organized your Christmas shopping lists by budget and lucky recipient?  Are you ready to brave the holiday travel crush / packed parking lots and long checkout lines?  Is this the year that your child will choose to ask you tougher questions about Santa?

::Shudder::  Scary indeed.  Enjoy the night and Happy Halloween!

  4. No...really. That is a super scary thought. (and reminds me that I need to make MY Christmas list) :-)

    Oh..and the sugar high children...that would be Charlie earlier this evening. Candy does do something to the kiddos.

  6. My wife is already stressing over the holidays. Her parents are spending the whole month in Austin--luckily, they are staying in a condo a good 30 minutes away from us. Plus, she has to deal with my parents, who she doesn't have a good relationship with. Yes, the holiday season is upon us.

  7. You're absolutely right, shopping for the holidays is a stressful and terrifying thought especially when I have to do everything before I head home in less than two weeks. I need to start doing this real soon.

  8. Oh no!!! Can't I get locked in a house with a ghost instead of going through this season??? I'm completely unprepared. I hope I can find the holiday cards I didn't send out last year. :)

  9. In Europe Halloween is still establishing itself and Thanksgiving we don't have. Today is the last major holiday before Christmas. It's All Saints Day. xo

  14. I am the jerk that is almost done with my holiday shopping and I don't have to travel far if at all. :) I do have to figure out what to make for Thanksgiving, but I figure that's minor.

  18. Yes, the moment Halloween ends, time flies so quickly. I was walking to my office this morning, and immediately thought of all the Christmas shopping that I need to do and all the ski trips and weddings we'll be going to before the year ends ... in two months. EEEKS!

  19. Thanksgiving is my most hated holiday. I'm a vegeratrian with a limited diet, and I'm not much of a person who is thrilled to be in the company of my family (mainly because I see most of them ALL the time).

  20. This year is flying by way too quickly! Hope you had a wonderful Halloween!

  21. Where do I press pause for time, please? I was at the mall yesterday and noticed that J.Crew already has their holiday window up. Every year it comes sooner and sooner.
