The ****? Christmas Shoes?

I love Halloween and I love Thanksgiving. I also love Christmas and stores like Hobby Lobby.... So I usually avoid stores like Hobby Lobby until after or just before Thanksgiving. I like to be in the mood for the appropriate holiday and if I start seeing Christmas shit, I get excited way too early. So even though I would love to wander around Hobby Lobby type stores for Halloween/autumn decorations, I don't... because one year I did, and there were two rows of fall things and Christmas trees everywhere else.

My autumn celebrating is in the form of cooking a bunch of pumpkins/squash and doing experiments for Thanksgiving dishes (at this very moment, I am in a Hobbes costume boiling plantains and baking a pumpkin). And also pumpkin beers.

HOWEVER! I've already gotten a lot of Christmas shopping done and hidden in a closet. I started in August, getting things when they were on sale. But that doesn't mean I'm ready to hear holiday music.... it's still 65 degrees (F) outside.
