HallowThanksMas

It's official. We are now celebrating HalloThanksMas around our house. The Triptiphan had not even set in from the Turkey and we were already out the door for the Christmas tree. This is not to say that I don't love Thanksgiving, it is in fact my favorite holiday, but when you have a 4 year old and a 2 year old it is Santa time. It must be confusing to a child. At least to mine. They have been seeing Christmas decorations since September and even ran into Santa at the grocery Circa November 10th! What do you expect. So now we have the daily question, "Is today Christmas Mommy?". So, seeing as we are still T minus one month, the answer is no. I thought I had solved all ills by initiating a countdown. Ran out and got an advent calendar and ceremoniously gathered the kids around it after school today to open the first window. BUT woops, they don't start until December 1st. Guess that is one of the downsides of the Hallowthanksmas holiday.
