That's too early to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1191868 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 21:09:18 +0000 swedishfish 1191868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: totally agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1191858 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 21:04:33 +0000 T-Mom 1191858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was out shopping today and couldn't wrap my head around the Christmas music playing everywhere! Guess it worked on me though, since I did bring home two Christmas gifts :-O </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1191837 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 20:49:45 +0000 JerricaBenton 1191837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm into it. I can get excited for Christmas and still look forward to thanksgiving. It's a whole holiday state of mind. I just feel like the older I get, the faster the holiday season goes so I'm happy to stretch it out as much as I can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1191802 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 20:20:42 +0000 Shutterbug 1191802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to the mall today and Santa was already there!! And they're playing Christmas music in all the stores! I didn't expect that so early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1191709 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 19:24:11 +0000 fancyfunction 1191709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were at the mall yesterday and they were getting these giant reindeer statues ready! I thought to myself, kids are trick or treating at your stores and you're pushing Christmas? Can't it wait a day? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1191550 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 17:24:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1191550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loooove Christmas! I think a few of the threads were mine :)</p> <p>I'm also super excited about J's age for Christmas this year so I'm planning ahead for a lot of things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1191532 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 17:14:18 +0000 lovehoneybee 1191532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D won't let me discuss Christmas outside of travel plans until after Thanksgiving, but I love this time of year so much (from Halloween straight through to New Year's) that I really can't wait to start decorating and such. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190448 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 11:23:43 +0000 BSB 1190448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: Yeah, I don't like their holiday drinks, but I do love their salted caramel mocha which comes out in October, I think. Today, I got a green tea latte since I didn't need caffeine today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190442 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 11:22:07 +0000 BSB 1190442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I know! I don't usually like all the christmas stuff but I did do a little happy dance when I saw the red cups in line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190438 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 11:19:34 +0000 lemondrop 1190438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I'm just trying to enjoy fall for the next month, not get Christmassed out already! I'll start picking up gifts here and there if I see a deal, but I want to enjoy fall and TG too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190372 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 11:04:55 +0000 swurlygurl 1190372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: RED CUPS ALREADY?! That's when it feels like the holiday season for me :) I love when they bring out the red cups! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190364 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 11:03:28 +0000 yin 1190364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanksgiving is on my mind! My sister just emailed me about our plans for Thanksgiving, and Christmas seems like it's so far away. Focusing on one awesome holiday at a time, although I do feel pressured to start shopping for presents now. The main reason being how difficult it will be for me to get around to it when baby arrives. That's was online shopping is for, right? Hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190348 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:58:34 +0000 Smurfette 1190348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am still excited for Thanksgiving but I can't wait for Christmas. I don't let myself decorate till after Thanksgiving though. I think having a LO this year is just making me this much more excited about Christmas. I can't help it. </p> <p>but I was thinking this morning that since it is Nov 1, I need to email my Aunt and see what the plan for Thanksgiving is since she is hosting this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190340 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:56:07 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1190340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: Feel free to plan mine for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190338 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:55:45 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1190338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I don't have you on IG! But I love the shade of the red cups :) Just not a fan of any of the Christmas specials. Love the pumpkin spice though :heart:</p> <p>@mrsjazz: I need pumpkin pie but that's about the extent of my holiday wish list. I do have to host Thanksgiving this year for my parents though (because they don't have room to host themselves) so I do have to get some planning done for that. Hopefully it won't be too bad!</p> <p>@TemperanceBrennan: I didn't have the typo problem but I do remember Christmas cards taking about two weeks from start to finish. That was awful. I hope I can get an earlier jump on them this year too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190330 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:54:15 +0000 MrsSCB 1190330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm excited for the holiday season, but I'm not ready to skip thanksgiving yet! This year is the first thanksgiving I've had off work in three years so I've gotten a little overexcited planning out my menu already :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190313 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:50:52 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1190313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm excited to embrace the holiday season, but I am much more into Thanksgiving now than Christmas. Although, we were so rushed with Christmas cards last year that there was a HUGE typo that we missed, so I would like to get those done earlier this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190309 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:49:53 +0000 mrsjazz 1190309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah. I was a bit overwhelmed by the Christmas posts already today. Tuning them out for now. I want to enjoy my fall and the next holiday I am thinking about is yummy Turkey Day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190305 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:49:20 +0000 BSB 1190305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just posted this on Instagram...</p> <p>That's just enough 'holiday' for me. </p> <p>I prefer to wait til after Thanksgiving to be excited for Christmas.</p> <p>[attach=147/13/mvlda8.338x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190255 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:39:48 +0000 birdofafeather 1190255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i am excited for fall in general! we didn't put any halloween decor out, so i'm making DH go get my fall stuff this weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190229 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:33:39 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1190229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I know! It's rotten!</p> <p>@theonewhere: I had an on-campus job like that back in college. I don't miss that portion of it since Christmas was a BIG deal (it was a religious based university). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190195 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:24:17 +0000 theonewhere 1190195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't seen any Christmas stuff pop up yet, but I figure that's because bad weather postponed trick-or-treating to today so everyone still has a slew of costume photos to share tonight.</p> <p>At my last job I had to start working on Christmas campaigns in June to have them ready to go right about now. Needless to say, Christmas does not start at our house until we've eaten Thanksgiving dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190193 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:23:44 +0000 swurlygurl 1190193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I restrain myself (it is VERY hard!) to not think about Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving. But, seriously, Christmas stuff has been out in stores since before Halloween! :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190189 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:22:06 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1190189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@glimmersnaps: You and me, we should be buddies ;) I just don't dig it. After Halloween, my holiday spirit doesn't return until St Paddy's day. Bring on the beer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190185 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:21:22 +0000 glimmersnaps 1190185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sigh... I don't celebrate Christmas (or Halloween for that matter) so this is usually the time of year I tune out of Mommy/Kid blogs because they are so overrun by holiday stuff. I also spend less time at the mall because I'd rather avoid the hoopla. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190184 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:21:01 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1190184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I have a little banner going across our mantel that says 'So Thankful for Family' with family member's names on leaves - but that's all I've got. I do have a cranberry mold I'm dusting off again this year and some fall themed tableware. But I'm not ready to bust it out just yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190180 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:20:26 +0000 Cole 1190180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so excited about Christmas this year that it is taking serious self control not to decorate like right now! In fact I wish there was more Christmas stuff out because I want to start gathering wrapping paper and decorations and I want to see all of the selection before I commit! But I am not normally like this... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190176 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:19:26 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1190176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: My husband does too so he's already talking about Christmas cards, Christmas lights, decorating our new house, etc. I'm just a Grinch I guess - but at least I already have our Christmas address labels and some cute Christmas washi tape for the cards. So maybe not all is lost? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/but-but-halloween-was-yesterday#post-1190166 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 10:18:12 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1190166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha! Chloe's preschool class is learning about thanksgiving &amp; bring thankful. We've been working with her at home, and last night I asked her what she was thankful for. So far it's just tinkerbell. She told me she's not thankful for mama or papa.</p> <p>So.. We gotta work on this.. </p>
