It's November, right?

Don't get me wrong, I like the winter holidays. I get to spend time baking, cooking and going to an occasional party. However, today I had to check the calendar to double check to see what month we are in and yep, it is November. Says it right there under the picture of the polar bear and on the calendar on my phone and on my computer. In fact, today is November 11th - Remembrance Day or Veterans Day. In that moment, I took time to reflect.

So what's the deal on the calendar? "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" was on TV tonight. Hello?...Christmas is in six weeks! Why on earth are they showing a Christmas movie in early November? Can you please let us remember those who have fallen in wars and conflicts? Can you please let us give thanks on Thanksgiving? Even after Thanksgiving we are going to have four shopping weeks. All I could do is just sigh.

*sigh*
