Halloween is coming to an end. I guess we had a few trick or treaters last night and a few less tonight, but Dylan had the lights off so I don’t really know what night was the main night. I missed all the kids though, worked dinner shift both last night and tonight.
We did go out to the bars last night and it was fun, but I really don’t like being in bars that are that packed. It was fun to see all the costumes but other than that…super long bathroom lines, impossible to get drinks, almost as impossible to find a place to sit, I’m over it. Busy but not full, that’s how I like my drinking establishments.
And now I’m tired but know I won’t be able to fall asleep if I go to bed, hate that feeling, so I’m staying up even though Dylan is in bed already and I have nothing to watch on TV and nothing to do. Read my book I guess.
October is over, enter November. Jean-Pierre loathes the holidays and sees November as a last month of piece and normalness before the hysteric mania that is December and Christmas time. But he doesn’t live in America where the holiday season never ends, just takes a few short intermissions.
Thanksgiving will be fun, but it’s the people I care about; decorations and dead birds and cranberries in the shape of a can, I could care less about all that. I already told people at work I don’t give a shizzle about New Year’s, I can work all through New Year’s, I’ve done it before and will gladly to it again.
But Christmas, I have to get time off for Christmas. Otherwise I will cry tears of childlike disappointment and disproportional pain.
At least in the US the x-mas hysteria does not kick in until after Thanksgiving. In Sweden there's no Thanksgiving and hardly any Halloween decorations to prohibit the stores from starting to sell christmas decorations in October (yep, that's correct...I saw a whole x-mas section in ICA Maxi last week). I love christmas and the decorations, but seriously, this is just too early!
