Feels Holiday-ish Already, Doesn't It?

Yesterday, my son said it already feels like a holiday. I had to agree with him. Perhaps it is the anticipation. Perhaps it's that we are already on holiday from all of our activities.
Whatever the reason, it is making it hard to be productive. I'm the mom, the teacher, but I am DISTRACTED!
Do you feel like it's the holidays already?

I'm in holiday mode already. Excited about Thanksgiving and starting my Christmas shopping. I can't wait to put up my Christmas tree but that has to wait until after Thanksgiving. I just can't give myself permission to put it up before we celebrate turkey day.

No, not really. I guess I need to get some other stuff done to feel productive. Then I can feel the "holidaze".

Which holiday? Thanksgiving or Christmas...it feels more Christmas-ish to me.

@AbbyGreenhill I was saying to another person i think it is because this is our birthday season at our house as well. so we have 5 birthdays between halloween and dec 22, plus the holidays. so it's just a very, very festive time around here. i'm glad it still feels that way to me. i lost my son unexpectedly on dec 31, so it makes the holidays very, very bittersweet. but he loved this time of year. so i have to keep loving it for him and for his memory

I'm one of those crazy folks who are ready for christmas music the day after Halloween. I still enjoy Thanksgiving, but I like my thanksgiving to include Christmas music. ha ha

Yes I am feeling it. I'm already tired and haven't even started all the work that's associated with the holiday. Just thinking about it is wearing me out.

I have been too busy to think about it yet. But, going to the stores these days makes you think about the holidays.
