Is it just me or are the retail stores trying to skip Thanksgiving?  It seems like before Halloween even arrives the retail store are pushing Christmas.  Not only are they pushing Christmas decore but gift ideas and prices as well.  I am all for shopping early to get ahead and not have to spend so much money all at once, but I don’t need to see the decorations before I take my daughter trick or treating.  I like to enjoy each Holiday as is comes. It’s not just some stores but every store from Wal-Mart to Target to the Mall to the local Liquor Store.  I think we should slow down and enjoy the simple things in life such as the Holidays and the food and the time with family and friends.  This life is already too fast paced the rest of the year.
