Oddly, I know what you mean. I have no distinct want for more Halloween HALLOWEEN, but, it still feels nice and autumny out, and I’ve been sticking with the scary movies.
That’s why the Thanksgiving season is nice — it’s 1/2 Hallo, 1/2 X-Mas.

Shall I make my first disparaging remark about Christmas, or wait?
By the way, does anyone have a Kindle? If so, do you like it?

I’m not looking forward to Magic 98.3′s annual six-week-long 24/7 Christmas music marathon. That’s the only station we receive at my job, though, and we’re forced to listen to it.

NO CHRISTMAS UNTIL AFTER THANKSGIVING.
That’s my Hardcore rule. Until then, let’s celebrate fall and get ready to stuff ourselves after watching silly commercialized parades.
Just watched V for Vendetta. Happy Guy Fawkes Day. AND Happy Back to the Future Day!

Anyone else surprised at the variety of egg nog flavors this year? I saw 5 by Hood’s Dairy this year, and chose Sugar Cookie Egg Nog. Wow, it’s good.

You can always split the seasons by watching Jack Frost. Nothing says both Halloween and Christmas like a homicidal snowman!

The movie you’re looking for there is the Nightmare Before Christmas.

And now begins my avoidance of this site until after Thanksgiving. It’s bad enough that I have to deal with Christmas stuff in every store I go to. No holiday deserves more than a month.

Nope, not Christmas yet. Still got to get past Thanksgiving first. However, as I’m only 16, I can get in the Christmas spirit in no time flat. Also, kind of a help too some old X-E blog entries. Spellcheck is now telling me that blog and spellcheck are not real words. Ah, who asked it. Anyway, I’ve only read the blog entries that were written either before or on Thanksgiving. Now I’m all hyped up for the parade, food, family, and maybe football. Even though we are having dinner criminally early at… hm… meeting up at 11 am… I’m not getting there till after 12 (I ain’t missing the parade for no one)… and it ends at 4… so somewhere in there. I’m bringing home extra to have a more appropriate timed dinner. Ah, can’t wait too see decorations around my ‘hood. However, some people put them up as early as before Halloween. Someone needs to lock them up right now.
I already have Target’s “Christmas Tree” and “Baked Goods” candles. I love Christmas candles.

Jeff= Here’s some advice, buy an mp3 player, and fill it with your favorite none Christmas songs. Like you, I can’t stand hearing those Holiday songs for more than an hour.
Camero T= I agree with you there. Whoah, it was Guy Fawkes Day? I was so into honoring the invention of Time Travel. I want Thanksgiving first. I want a turkey leg. Haven’t had one since Disney World last December. I remember last Thanksgiving. We were watching the parade. And we, and the rest of the continent got Rick Rolled.

Please spare a moment for those of us that dont have Thanksgiving and have to fill the six or seven weeks dreaming about 1) the two weeks vacation stored up for christmas and 2) my anally retentive clockwatching boss going off to have a baby and giving us the better part of a year without her anal retentedness.
Alright Christmas time is here. Bring on the Frostys,Santys, Rudolphs and whatever else you can throw.
Matt: Are you gonna start this years Advent Calendar by revealing the ending to last years story?

Hey Matt,
Let me ask you this now, before we are in the thick of the Christmas blogging. Unlike Charlie Brown, we don’t see much, or anything about the Rudolph Christmas special on the site here. Is it that you just never got into Rudolph? Never had that “fambly moment” with Rudolph to make it a standout?
Just curious, thanks!

I am PUMPED for Christmas. Granted, working at theme parks as Christmas trees and massive light displays pop up will do that to you.
I hope Wal-Mart’s Christmas selection is more interesting than Halloween. A Wally World Halloween just seemed so… generic this year. It all just seemed like a big orange blob, nothing stood out. All of the packaging was alike. Bleh.
I’m impressed by Target’s so far, but moreso by the $60 I spent on 75% off clearance Halloween stuff today. Candy candy candy! Diabetes by 35!

Ugh, I don’t want it to be Christmas yet. Wanna know when I finally got into the Halloween Spirit? 10pm, October 31st.
