Today at work we changed out the Thanksgiving/Fall decorations for Winter/Holiday decorations, and I have to admit, it made me sad. Even my neighbors have put their decorations up earlier this year.
I don't think I'm ready for winter yet! In fact where I am, we've barely had our autumn, let alone winter weather. So I decided to keep up my fall decorations. At least for the next few days.
It made me wonder why I love fall so much when I'm really a summer girl at heart. I really think it's less that I love fall (although pumpkin spice everything is my jam), and more that I love the break in weather, and the last slow days before the crazy busyness of the holiday season starts. I'm enjoying the nice weather, I'm enjoying not having to be everything everywhere all at once. I'm enjoying the last of this year. I'm not quite ready for the end of the year yet.
So for now, today, it's still fall for me, and my desk. At least until Fall becomes Fall-la-la-la time.
What is your view? Are you ready for the Winter holidays? Or are you dragging your feet and in denial like I am?

Kate Landry is soon to be Kate Donovan, if only the groom would show up.
Maid
of honor Cara Nguyen wants everything to go smoothly for her best
friend's wedding, yet almost immediately, the wedding turns into a
fiasco. Kate and Kyle deserve to have the wedding of their dreams, and
Cara wants to make it happen. It’s hard to do when the flowers are
delivered to the wrong location, the groom is missing, and the lovely
sunny day has become a sweltering hot mess. She definitely doesn’t have
time to get distracted by a sexy groomsman in a kilt.
Kyle Donovan is ready to marry the love of his life, but first he has to help some stranded guests…
Dash
Helms is in the small town of Chester, California for his friend Kyle’s
wedding, when he is immediately tasked to help. A caravan of wedding
guests break down on their way, one of the groomsmen misses his flight,
and the beautiful maid of honor is the only thing he can concentrate on.
When Dash is asked to step in at the last minute as a replacement
groomsman, of course he says yes. But the striking brunette he’s walking
down the aisle wants nothing to do with him.
With everything seeming to go wrong, what can go right?
In
this wedding short story written for Kate and Kyle from Dark Past, the
cast of the Fatal Instincts series comes together to celebrate their
friends. With everyone in the same place at once, and romance in the
air, can this small town handle them?
I agree about those "last slow days." Those are something I've grown to appreciate. Although I love the busyness of the holidays, much of my time is spent as a spectator. Still fun, but different. Very different. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteWhen my kids were younger, and we were in the thick of it, it was harder to appreciate it all. I'm hoping that I can force myself to slow down and enjoy everything.
DeleteI love fall, winter, and spring, but I am so NOT a summer person. Or fall here in North Central Texas has been nice, but I look forward to the approach of the Christmas decorations. I have always loved the time from Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, but feel sad once the anticipation is over. Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you too! And I definitely enjoy the fall weather, but I'm not ready for Christmas Lol
