Halloween and time for........

                                                       Happy Halloween all!
                                                                  

 So we have made it to Halloween...sure I like this time of the year. But oh I always move forward fast. Not as fast as your local malls or CVS. Yea sure you walk in to them October 1st and see all the fall stuff and things for Trick or Treat..then a week later you see all that fall stuff go to 50% off and oh look a Christmas tree is up and all nicely decorated! I alwasys do the dubble take look as "what the heck" then click my heels to bring me back to what month is this and did Halloween pass already and it's Christmas time already?? No, they just ram all holidays as one! But if I see the dang Easter bunny  in with Halloween I will become a crazy woman..... ok ok back to what I was getting at....Once all the little kids have gotten all their goodies tonight (if weather permits)I will take all the pumpkins down and put out all my snowmen(women). I may hold back or refrain myself as I tend to get sick of looking at all the winter decor by the end of November. Last year at this time my husband was in Germany. I got bored and rearranged the house and had all the Christmas things out. With in a few weeks I was ready to put it all away. The bells around the dogs were driving me nutz!! The Santa on the door was killing me because it is a count down from Dec. first to Christmas day! Could not move the darn day count down because it was ....dah November! But I don't think it's me....It's the stores and the raido! As of November first the Christmas songs start playing and you walk in the mall and you hear it and see ALL the Christmas decorations! Maybe it is me..no, it's not! But don't get me wrong...I love all the movies they start to play and my vaforate one is on at least once a week!
                                     Christmas vacation! Dah all American favoriate!
                                                              

And who can forget The Christmas Story!!!!!  All time American movie!  plays 24 hours over and over and over!!!  AND yes I do watch it a FEW times on the eve and Christmas day!
                                                                      
AND>>>>>>>>last but not least....It's A Wonderful Life.  This movie I can watch all year round! No, I am not crazy I just love that movie.
                                                                              

OMG am I nut about Christmas or what??  No, just love the season. 
 Tis the season....
Now the down side about all this winter fun and joy....is the food and treats. Oh yea and a family COOKIE exchange!!!!  By the way....Katie's are the best!  See here You can also see all the other great recipes she has to!  Katie, I hope your making the Oreo balls again...yum! 
Don't the winter holidays make you want to eat and eat and yup eat??  Well I know I do!  No control at all.  I have not even lost last winters weight gain!  Oh well we are ALL to Eat,drink and be Merry!!
Ok I guess now that I have said all of this...I am now in the season mood.  Well...maybe.  Give me a few weeks and I will be full blowen in the mood for all this jingle jingle all the way stuff.  Nah who am I kidding!  I am going to deck the halls now even if I do get sick of seeing all the snowmen and santa stuff around the house and the holidy music..... but the best thing about all this is that I can and will go get more new candles..haha love this time of year. Love the smell of nice holiday candles burning in my home....Best one as I have mentioned before are the wood wick candles.  OMG they are the best!!!  The sound of a fire goiing and they have great fragrance that will fill a whole house and last a long time (unless you burn then every day as I do).  You can get them at Halmark or Here.  Go, now!  Get you a few...You will love them!  They are great on a cold evening with the house quiet and a good book! 

Have a great and safe trick or treat all. 
IF you have not heard, a child was struck by a car in Marengo, Ohio last night as they had there annual trick-or-treat.  Please keep your eyes open when you drive down the streets as children are walking the neighbor streest!
