imagine my delight when my friend told me...that at her recent visit to nordstroms...there were big posters in the windows saying "we like to celebrate one holiday at a time...so you won't see our christmas decorations until after thanksgiving"
way to go nordstroms!
this has always been a pet peeve of mine...i mean...when you are in a store before halloween has even happened...and the music is piping carols...and you see christmas trees & ornaments everywhere...are we jumping ahead a bit? my friends pick fun at me...because to this day...i refuse to play christmas music until the day after thanksgiving...now i have to say...it is a bit hard to avoid that rule when in stores...just saying...
there are other seasons that need attention...like...thanksgiving...it is all about giving thanks...why do we bypass it? what happened to giving each season its due time...
and don't get me wrong...i love christmas...it is truly a magical time of year...i enjoy every aspect of it...the music...the family time...the giving of gifts...the receiving of gifts =)...the beautiful decorations...and most importantly...the wonderful gift of God's son to us...but i also want to live in the moment...and the moment for now is gearing up for thanksgiving...
although...this month is also my birthday...tomorrow to be exact...and i've been celebrating pretty much all month...and will continue to do so...but on thanksgiving day...it will not be about my birthday...but of all the blessings & family that i am so fortunate to be a part of...
but then again...thanksgiving shouldn't be about one day...but that is an entirely separate post...
until then...enjoy your weekend...i know mine will be full of celebration...cake & family & friends...
let's celebrate each season in the moment...
