In my mind, I know it's Thanksgiving in two days. I know this. Do I feel like it's Thanksgiving in two days? No, I don't. My brain is having a hard time wrapping it's head around the fact that it's still warm outside. Because in my life experience, Thanksgiving = Cold Weather. That's just the way it's always been. And now we have highs in the 80's, and my brain is trying to process that, and here's what it comes up with: it's still summer.
This is also causing problems with my Christmas shopping. I've barely even thought about it because it's still warm, and so my Christmas shopping radar isn't going off. Usually, when it starts getting colder, then I know, "Hey, I better start my shopping! Christmas will be here soon!" Nope, it's not happening. And I keep telling my brain, "IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS! BUY PRESENTS!" But then the summer-ish heat hits me and melts all those wintery thoughts away.
HEB is helping me out some with all their Christmas music. Generally, I don't approve of Christmas music before Thanksgiving, but I think this year I need it. It's a good reminder that it's COMING whether the weather thinks so or not!
