Left Behind

Those that know me very well, know that I love Christmas time and love to decorate. I always put my decorations up the weekend after Thanksgiving and have been told this is a bit early. However, this year as I drive around I see that a lot (and I am not exaggerating) of people have already decorated. Christmas lights on their house, trees up, the whole she-bang! Last night I saw that my neighbor had her tree up and get this: she had already wrapped gifts and put them under the tree. So I am asking myself, what is going on? It seems that everyone is skipping Thanksgiving this year. I feel the pressure to decorate for Christmas now. Last night I had to fight the urge to buy a Christmas tree on the way home from work. I have been left behind. So to all of those that make fun of me for decorating early, this year I am behind schedule.
