Christmas BEFORE Thanksgiving???

We kinda have a tradition in our family that you do not put up Christmas decorations until AFTER Thanksgiving. Now mind you, it can be 2 minutes after the Thanksgiving meal is over, but all in all we wait until Thanksgiving is over and we are thoroughly thankful for the blessings of the past year.

Well, not this year.... I know kids, pick yourselves up off the ground and I am truly sorry. But to my defense, it has been a crazy year and a crazy season. Sometimes a girl just has to do what a girl has to do. Funny thing, my husband went right along with this crazy plan of mine.

Sometimes you just have to do what works for you...understanding this comes with age I have decided. And I am understanding better with each passing day this "age" thing.

So, the lesson to be learned here? Let up on the crazy people who put Christmas up before Thanksgiving - after all, they may have a really good reason for their crazy behavior.
