With all our tricks we're making Christmastime
Well, I took down the Halloween decorations today. I know that most people have had theirs packed away for weeks already, but I'm never quite ready. A lot of them are things I'd keep out year round if it wouldn't take all the joy out of decorating each October. As it is Micah just spent ten minutes tormenting me by telling me I'd missed something, and then following me around as I scrutinized each room and said things like, "You're not talking about Jack, are you?" and, "You don't mean my [coffin-shaped] jewelry box, do you?"
In any case, Halloween is packed away for another year--well, more like 10 months at this point. And while I hate that Christmas seems to come earlier and earlier to department stores and malls each year, I have to admit that I'm already looking forward to it myself. It still doesn't feel like Christmas down here, and I'm coming to terms with the likelihood that it never will. But with the number of home made gifts I plan on giving and a slightly holiday-themed show coming up in just a few weeks... I have xmas on the brain, and it's kind of nice.
