I have no idea how many days are left til Christmas or when stores start extending their hours but I do know that once Hamlloween is over , look out for the sleighs, reindeers and the start of Christmas music. So why does everyone start  so early on the Christmas list?   We spend most of our time discussing where or who is hosting Christmas followed by what dish you have to bring and then where do we go on Boxing Day etc.   This is why i try to treasure every minute of a free weekend because who wants to stress out about these things so early in the game?   I'm so worried about not having enough time see the new Ben Affleck movie or if  the Mac Marauders have another home game I can try to get to.  The Christmas holidays can wait .  It is mid October isn't it?
