HOW DID TIME FLY BY SO FAST? I FEEL LIKE WE JUST HAD CHRISTMAS!!! EEEKKK!
I realized the closeness of Christmas when Nathaniel and I went out to Kohls last weekend. LINES TO THE BACK OF THE STORE! I figured it was just because they were having a killer sale...it was in fact, but also PEOPLE WERE DONE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING WHEN THEY LEFT THERE! So I naturally turned to Nathaniel, because he is totally unaware of why we are standing in line, and ask him.."Babe..people are Christmas shopping, you know this right?" and he answered exactly like I thought he would.."Katie, come on..Christmas Shopping? Yea right that is MONTHS away." and I said.."NO BABY..its like 6 weeks away!!!" and he gave me this look of ignorance (on my part) and then something clicked..it was just 6 weeks away! He then truns to me with his (big beautiful green) eyes and says.."WE NEED TO CHRISTMAS SHOP WHILE WE ARE HERE..WE NEED TO GET THINGS DONE.." IT HIT. :) He was totally unaware, just like I thought he would be. Now he is totally into getting the Christmas tree out, which is a hassle, on my part...
I have not even thought about it yet. I am too busy with school, wedding planning, thinking about Thanksgiving! Does anyone feel me on this one?? I mean we can't even enjoy one Holiday without thinking about the next. At stores, once Halloween is over its right onto Christmas. yes I LOVE Christmas, don't get me wrong, but Thanksgiving totally gets the shaft!!! Right???
There is more to just the presents, THE FOOD, and seeing family..its what it meant by these two special Holidays. I mean Thanksgiving is supposed to represent the becoming of this nation. (well- okay a little history..the early settlers tricked the Indians, go figure, into thinking they were friends..so they made this speical dinner where everyone brought things to eat..to "celebrate" the coming of the new settlers to the land..THEN BAM! out of nowhere, the settelers went behing the Indians backs and well we all know what happened after that.) BUT no seriously..Thanksgiving to meant to give Thanks for what we have!!! We live in a very wealthy nation and we have MANY freedoms that people all over the world don't have. We should be SO THANKFUL for that. :0)
