Happy Holiday Season, friends! It's technically the holiday season now, right? We're one day from Halloween (a holiday) and then BAM! It's NOVEMBER! And November is the official start of the holiday season for me and I'm guessing for most of you as well. I mean, I won't go as far as to say Merry Christmas just yet (😂) but goodness knows I'm ITCHING to dive headfirst into one of my red plastic tubs full of glitter and twinkly lights. I cannot wait to deck my halls!!
Every year I see and hear debates between the people who are firmly "all things Christmas" the second the clock strikes midnight on November 1st and the ones who don't even think about Christmas until that turkey and dressing are tucked neatly into Tupperware in the fridge on Thanksgiving night.

I tend to fall somewhere in the middle on the outside but on the inside--see above. 🎄 Now the older I get, the more I'm starting to care less and less about what is socially acceptable when it comes to what's considered too early or too late. You'll never please everyone and honestly, who the heck cares if someone thinks its too early for you to decorate your own house for Christmas!? If they don't live there, it's not hurting them. (And even if they do live there, they can just deal. #ahem #craignall)
All of that to say, YOU DO YOU this year girls and don't let anyone pressure you into waiting until they think it's appropriate or pushing you to decorate before you're ready. And if you think it's ridiculous that someone is decorating too early or waiting too late, keep it to yourself. Don't rain on someone else's parade, man.

My neighbor is putting up her Christmas stuff this weekend and I am 100% jealous. I've got a little more shopping to do (we need a new tree) before I can really start thinking about it but oooohhhh I can't wait!
But back today's post. ;) It's another installment of What's Up Wednesday with Shay and Sheaffer where we answer all sorts of questions about what we've been up to lately and what we're planning next month. I love seeing what everyone else is up to so if you leave a comment here and you've also blogged WUW, please leave your link and I'll check it out!
