The holiday blues have struck early, and they’ve got me bad this year… The stress of the impending holiday, the family to entertain, and the lack of sleep on my part has me grumpy, grumpy, grumpy. I’ve even asked Thade to not talk about Christmas presents until after Thanksgiving, but so far that isn’t working. The “cheerful” decorations are popping up all over town, and I’m wondering what happened to celebrating Thanksgiving, and why is everyone decorating so darn early?!?  I wish I could be cheerful this time of year, but it just isn’t my favorite time of year… Halloween is long gone, and that is my favorite one. Fair warning,  there will be more grumpiness to come…
