It’s beginning to taste a lot like Christmas
As I type, I am enjoying my first gingerbread latte of the season. This is the one holiday-related item I don’t mind arriving too early in the year, unlike the Christmas carols I heard last week in the Hallmark store. Can we at least wait until after Halloween for that? But the gingerbread latte? It can’t come soon enough. It’s like a gingerbread cookie with less guilt. Plus it has the added bonus of caffeine! What more could you ask for?
And by the way, as this gingerbread-y goodness signals the beginning of Yuletide, I feel it is my duty to alert you that there are only 50 days until Christmas.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
I am SO WITH YOU on the gingerbread lattes. It’s one of my favorite parts of Christmas – that and the guilt-free shopping. (If it’s for someone else, it doesn’t count, right?)
Rememeber when The Holiday Season didn’t start until you saw Santa at The End Of The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade?
Yeah. those were the days. *sigh*
Definitely giving away my age here, but I look back fondly on the days when Christmas started AFTER Thanksgiving! This year, I was stunned that some stores replaced their back-to-school displays with artificial trees. Just not right.
