| Holiday shopping spirit We have had very unseasonably cool weather for almost 3 weeks now, and the cold air is making my brain think it is time for the Holidays.
I am halfways thru my Christmas shopping, I started talking about Thanksgiving in September, I put out my Halloween decorations, and wanted to put out my Thanksgiving and Christmas stuff instead.
I have very strong cravings for hot cocoa (which we always have on Christmas eve) and now the weirdest thing..... For the last week I have a very strong urge to go shopping at Target.
I thought about it alot, and then I went and got the Mott's deal on Saturday, and then I thought about it some more, trying to figure out why I have such a strong urge to go there.... then I realized that the majority of my holiday decorations are from there at either 75% or 90% off, with a few $ store items and some handmade things. All the toys for the kids (birthday's too) over the last 3 years came from there too, and most of their new clothes.
I swear I didn't plan that, it's just a great store and they have good clearance and it's the best alternative to Walmart *gag* as we have no Kmart here.
I feel like a lunatic trying to get rid of this urge to go to Target, I don't want to buy anything there, and the decorations aren't on clearance yet!
So, does anyone else have strange and/or impulsive Holiday traditions??
