Is it me, or is Christmas making an appearance earlier this year? Obviously the malls are decorated with music blaring insanely early per usual, but Santa already? Really? Shouldn't he be busy with the elves this month? (Wow, that's a lot of questions.) My mailbox has become bombarded with advertisements, lights are popping up all over my tiny neighborhood, and friends are updating their statuses with their latest holiday preparations - your Christmas tree is up and decorated? What?!
As I stroll the aisles of Target, I can't help but feel bad for the fall decorations, ruined with red clearance stickers an entire month before they should be. But I smirk a little too as I gently place them in my cart. Don't worry little accessory, there's a place for you at my house. And I love your cheapness.
I have always made a mental goal of ignoring Christmas until Black Friday, but this year I can't help feeling just a teensy bit of pressure to start cheating on Thanksgiving.
What about you? When's an acceptable time to start your decorating/shopping/holiday panic attacks? Let me know below!

POST Thanksgiving ONLY. Any earlier just isn't appropriate. Call me a grinch, but I'd be completely okay with having Christmas every two years.
I was shopping @ the Burlington Mall a week BEFORE Halloween and they already had the center of the mall decorated for Santa! Do you think that when you become a store owner you have to pass an I'm Obsessed w/ Xmas test?!?!
