This is how I feel about it.

The holidays (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Xmas, etc) are all what YOU make of it. It doesn't matter what your neighbor is doing, or what the store puts out, or any of the other 4,000 things people complain about at the holidays. The holidays are about you, your family, and your home AND they will be as awesome or as cr@ppy as YOU make them. It's NOT on anyone else to make you feel festive nor is it anyone else's fault if you're a Grinch.

I am OBSESSED with this time of year and ALL of the holidays, even though Xmas is my favorite. Even though PLENTY of people think I am nuts for putting up a Halloween tree or decorating like crazy for Thanksgiving or even listening to Xmas carols in August I just shrug it off because it makes ME happy. So I don't care what others think or do because it has NO bearing on my holiday happiness and enjoyment.

I don't feel like the holidays are rushed, I get it...........stores want to make money and they put things out early. So what?!? All that does is keep me in the holiday spirit longer. It's up to YOU to slow it all down, savor the days, and celebrate each holiday in the way that makes you happy. I thoroughly enjoyed October and Halloween, now I'm on to the awesomeness of November and Thanksgiving and then I will be in my heaven at Christmastime.

I will decorate for every holiday. I will bake and cook like crazy. I will listen to Xmas carols the entire end of the year. And most importantly, I will enjoy EVERY SINGLE SECOND despite everyone else's complaining and the stores pushing their sales and whatever because what others do doesn't matter to me. Make the most of YOUR holiday season, it's over in a blink. Don't get caught up in what is happening around you, focus on what brings you joy right now, in this minute, and enjoy your holidays to the fullest!!

Just my two cents.

I love this. Can I post this on my Facebook!

Re: Halloween isn't even over yet

Here's how I feel about it... just ignore what the stores are doing because they're just trying to profit off the holidays by throwing the stuff in your face in July. That's their job, to make money. You do you. Don't let that put a damper on your spirits for the holidays when they actually come around. You can make the holidays anything you want them to be and if you don't want them to be so commercialized don't buy into it and celebrate however you like. I personally pass right by all the Christmas stuff and don't even notice it until I'm ready to see it lol.
