Okay, seriously? Is that really snow? Yep, that is totally snow. What the crap is going on here? I really think someone needs to sit Snow Miser down and explain to him what boundaries are.
I have come to accept the fact that as soon as we enter into October, you will be able to find one or two Christmas related decorations on the store shelves. But what I don't understand is how when you go back to that same store through out the month, they go from having just a few things to a couple shelves to an entire section. If you were to go to Wal-mart right now, you might be shocked to discover that there are already three entire aisles dedicated to Christmas.
You know what Christmas is? Christmas is that guy who after only a few days of dating starts leaving a tooth brush at your house. The next time he comes over he forgets a dvd or two. After he stays the weekend, you find a couple t-shirts and a pair of jeans folded up in your closet. Finally, at the end of the month you are walking through your house and you ask yourself, "Was there always a hat hanging there? Did I always have a statue of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in the kitchen? I'm pretty sure there wasn't always a tv in this bathroom."
Little by little he sneaks his way into your life unless you put a stop to it. This is what I think someone needs to do to the Snow Miser. I'm sure Santa Claus put him up to it, but Snow Miser needs to stand up for himself and not let himself be bullied.
They need to explain to him that there shouldn't be any snow falling in October. People shouldn't even be thinking of snow yet. They should be thinking of going to pumpkin patches and apple orchards. Maybe he doesn't understand that by sending snow so early that he ruined the weekend plans of so many families. He needs to understand that snow falling and these super cold temperatures is not acceptable and should only start occurring towards the end of November. Any time after Thanksgiving would be an appropriate starting point.
I wish I knew how to get a hold of Mother Nature, because I will bet you she has no idea he is trying to sneak his cold in so early. And I will bet even more money that she has already gotten on his case about doing this very thing sometime in the past.
For now, I am going to go to bed, because this is just to much to deal with at the moment. When I wake up I expect someone to have set this situation straight. Heaven help me, if I have to scrape the windows of my truck in the morning....someone is getting a serious talking to. Do you hear me Snow Miser!!!
