halloween, pilgrims, and indians, Oh My!

i have embraced the christmas spirit!! it's true - i have skipped thanksgiving for the first time ever, just like the rest of the world has been wanting me to do the last 5 years of my life. seriously, has anyone else noticed how christmas decorations come out in stores sooner and sooner? this year, it was right before halloween!! i was shopping for last minute halloween candy, and as i was grabbing a bag of finely wrapped snickers bars and kit kats wrappe in orange and spiders, the lady was replacing it with red and green m&m bags with snowflakes. unbelievable. thanksgiving is just a nice big dinner that kicks off the christmas season. doesn't anyone have respect for the pilgrims and indians anymore?

so like i said, i watched Elf last night. and honestly by the end of the movie, all i wanted to do was cut out paper snowflakes, sing christmas songs and wear an elf costume. and you know what, i can't do it anymore. i can only kick against the pricks for so long. today at target, heather and i bought christmas pajamas. it's no elf costume, but the striped red and white knee socks certainly help with the look. and we also jammed to christmas songs on the way home. i still have yet to make paper snowflakes, which by the way, haven't done since probably early grade school.

Random:
1) Hardball's big # tonight was missouri's last time they picked the losing presidential candidate: 1956. apparently they got it wrong on nov 4. and had to recount. go figure.
2) one of these days, i am going to call the provo "singles" hotline they advertise only after 11 pm. all those hot people on tv do it, why can't i ?

so i think i'm going to write out my christmas wish list:
skiis/boots/poles/skull candy (!)
hannah montana's death
shaving cream wrestling match
dvd player
legit tea party
my own tv show
new laptop
a pony. like this one.

gift cards from the following places:
-nordstrom
-banana repubic
-zumiez/DP
-buckle
-los hermanos
-ruby river

yeah that's good.
