So - in my book, anyway - the holiday season is official as of today, November 1st! This means serious shopping, storage sorting (for decos), planning, and (to Leisy's complete disgust :)) CHRISTMAS MUSIC!! Actually, as a piano teacher, most of my students begin Christmas music early October. By November, they are pretty much playing Christmas music exclusively (as long as they are ready for Festival ... which isn't until February anyway.) I wonder what the parents think of that :)! I love it, so that's just the way it is! :) We've pulled out the Christmas cds - and we're in business for the next 2 months!
I started off the season with a total bang - and have a serious infection in my eyes. I was using Marissa's drops (from her mild pink eye from last week) - and my eye just wasn't getting better. Today, at the doctor, he read the ingredients of the drops to me and said, "Michelle, the main ingredient in these drops is sulfa ... which you are allergic to." Whoops. Anyway - I'm on some heavy duty erythromycin ointment now, which makes it difficult to see for awhile - but, hopefully I'll be cleared up soon. In the meantime - I do NOT leave the house - mainly because of how horrendous I look, but because I'm contagious too. :) So ... stay away! :)
ANYWAY - I'm looking forward to being up and running again - because, I really DO love the holiday season ... the hustle and bustle, the thick newspapers full of advertisements of great buys, the frost in the air, the music, and the lights - which will be coming on THIS month!! Happy Holidays everyone!

I shouldn't have even read the post! thinking about the holidays this early gives me anxiety. Give me just two more weeks of calm. The kids sang "away in a manger" in primary last sunday. I plugged my ears.
I really can't start listening to Christmas music this early cause I'm sick of it before Christmas comes. I loved the excitement in Aar-bear's eyes when he saw the wrapped presents under my piano (before Halloween even) and found out there are a few for him there. So fun! Now if I can find things for my kids - the grandkids are pretty much taken care of.
