Happy Halloween

Christmas Needs To Learn Boundaries

  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!!!

Christmas VS Halloween

  It's no secret that Halloween is my favorite holiday. I pretty much tell it to everyone who will listen. However, today when I told a random lady at Walgreen's this fact, she responded by saying, "Well actually, Christmas is a little bit better of a holiday." Oh...No...She didn't! You can say a lot of things to me. You can tell me the government is going to steal all my money. You can tell me my bologna has first name and that it's O-S-C-A-R. Heck, you can even tell me you wish I would jump off a cliff. Perfectly fine. You tell me Christmas is better than Halloween. That is just not something I can let go. So for the next hour I held up that line and compared Christmas to Halloween to show her how wrong she truly was.

Christmas: If you are good all year, you get a present. If you are bad, you get coal. Pretty black and white.
Halloween: It doesn't matter if you are good, bad or fall somewhere in the middle, there's a 50% chance you will get a trick. And there's a 50% chance you'll get a treat.

Christmas: You have to get up early. Like at 5 a.m.
Halloween: Everything takes place in the afternoon or night. So, you get to sleep in.

Christmas: Santa is always watching you. Kind of Creeper like.
Halloween: No holiday overload is watching or judging you.

Christmas: You only get to give a few people presents.
Halloween: You get to give lots of people lots of little presents.

Christmas: You have to walk through freezing deep snow drifts.
Halloween: You get to walk through corn mazes and haunted houses.

Christmas: You wait for an hour in line with a 100 other people just to tell some fake possibly pervy drunk  Santa impersonator what you want.
Halloween: You walk up to someones door, say Trick or Treat, and get your treat immediately.

Christmas: An overweight guy who smells of whiskey dresses up in a red Santa suit.
Halloween: Every pretty girl in the nation dresses up in a costume that has the word 'sexy' or 'naughty' in the title. (i.e. Sexy Witch. Sexy Nurse. Sexy Teacher.)

Christmas: You have to go spend $40 on a Christmas Tree, spend lots of money decorating it and then you keep it in your house so no one else gets to see it.
Halloween: You buy a ginormous pumpkin for like $8, cut a bunch of holes in it and then put it outside with a candle in it so everyone can see.

Christmas: The decorations are kind of boring.
Halloween: Let's face it, the decorations are totally cool.

Christmas: We get one week of holiday specials that include "It's A Wonderful Life" and  claymation specials.
Halloween: We get 31 days of scary movies that include "Friday the 13th", "Halloween" and "Nightmare on Elm Street".
