I kid you not
Thursday, November 9, 2006 Driving home from my mom's house last night, we rounded the corner, counting the last of the Halloween pumpkins not yet completely chewed up by squirrels or bashed by 'tweens, and there it was:
That's right. Some over-achieving, chronically bored, obsessively organized person has already dug out, decorated and displayed their Christmas tree. We haven't even finished all the Halloween candy yet (amazingly, but still).
People, please. Can a family celebrate one holiday before jumping on the next? This is really crazy, right? Right?
If you are one of those folks who doesn't think this is crazy, please drop your bubble lights, get in your car immediately, hop the expressway to Chicago, exit at the nearest Container Store and then make your way to my pantry tout de suite.
Photo credit: I was too stunned (and too busy bitching about people who prematurely decorate) to grab for my own camera. Even if I actually had the presence of mind to reach for it, I am pretty sure I would've had to dig around the diaper bag for at least five minutes before I actually put my hands on it to snap a pic. Thankfully, the royalty-free photogs thrive on disorganization like my own.
