The start of the season
I went out today to a craft sale, except when I got there it was nowhere to be found. I could have sworn that’s what the radio said, but there was a pee-wee hokey game instead of craft booths. Hmph.
I am trying to get in a crafty Christmassy mood because next Saturday I have to not only manage the Christmas Craft sale down at the local hall, I have to make sure I have enough of my own stuff to sell there too. right now, I have three tea cozies ready to go. Now, a reasonable person would say something like we have plenty of tables booked to the point that we have to borrow tables from the firemen down the road and I’m sure nobody woudl notice if you didn’t put in a table of your own stuff and you DO have to sort of manage things and oh my, who is working the door even, but you know.. it’s kind of the principle here.
And I have a stack of half-finished cozies and things I should really finish up and sell since it’s taking me forEVER to even think about working on my shops site. Which will happen someday.
The day after Remembrance day it seemed decorations went up everywhere. Oh sure, the stores started putting out Christmas good before Halloween candy was even gone, but now the places are decorated too. is it just me or does this seem early? I know once we get past American thanksgiving it’s pretty much “the holiday season”.
I’m going to try and get some cards out this year too. I swear. Cross my heart. Even scheduled it in there somewhere. I think. I wrote it down anyway. Sorta.

We are too much alike with the Christmas card thing!
The stores are all ready for Christmas here, I haven’t heard any Christmas music playing yet. Four weeks of it is enough for me.
I was just saying to Don today that it seems like we shop a little sooner the older we get. He said that by the time we have grandkids we’ll be asking them for wish lists in August like his parents do with our kids
Seriously, his mom has been known to buy that early.

Yes, it was early down here as well. I can only handle one “special day” at a time!
Market Square has a nine metre tall Cat in the Hat inflatable creature in the fountain. (Don’t worry-fountain is off). It’s impressive but it’s not Christmassy.
