Funny post Tom Turkey

Ok now I am not one for falling on the floor laughing too often. But I saw this sign in a window That I would love to tell you all about.

Tom Turkey is holding a sign up in front of Santa.  On the sign it said: " Oh not yet my friend!!"  
And I agree with Tom. The Holidays are rushed this time of year.  I still might be old fashioned but I think that one Holiday should wait for the others to come and then go, before the stores have the products up for sale for the next.

Yes in my time we saw the Halloween things come in in late September and be gone by the week after the 31st. With all sales on items starting the day or 2 before that day.  Then on November 1st you would see the Thanksgiving goodies come into the stores.  You sure would not see Santa in the area till after that turkey was cooked and a good memory in our tummy.

 Santa would arrive by sleigh on TV  on Thanksgiving Day. By that time he was welcomed. Then you would go to the stores and WOW how they had changed inside!  The ohs and ahs would be heard and that is when you could feel Christmas coming up fast.

Things have progressed I would say. But  I think that it makes it so hard for children to believe in both Santa and the Miracle that happened with the birth of Christ.  Yes the churches do a great job of making us aware of the birth of Christ during this time. But things have moved so fast now that some of the magic of Christmas has lessen.  Kids get told all too quick that Santa isn't real and they have gotten a flurry of the Christ child and then it seems like it is all gone. What has happened to the magic??

 Why are we so eager to push all the fun and magic out of our Holidays??  I would say it is because we are in a hurry. All our lives we hurry up and never get there. Or maybe we do. Just when we find it that is when we look back and see we lost the fun and the happiness somewhere along the way.  So, don't be in such a hurry slow down and enjoy the fun you use to have with the children now.  Remember back when you were younger and there was magic and fun in the Holidays.  So be like Tom Turkey, tell the Holidays to slow down and then enjoy them. Each and everyone!

Your costume is a what?? Hurricane Sandi !

Here it is Halloween  week and who should arrive, The wicked witch of the ocean: Sandi!

Yep, this is the Hurricane unlike any other that this weather people has ever seen.  But for some strange reason it reminds me of the one called Agnes of the 1972 version. What ever her name it is going to be a wet one for All hollows Eve. Rain, Strong winds and Flooding is not what I would say is a nice way to have celebrate a fun Holiday.  Who wants to be huddled up in the house using candles to see with or the fireplace to cook with. Not me.  But if the weather men are right, we will need flashlights, candles, powder generators and goodness lets not for got the water in bottles.  I would much rather be out walking around with weird makeup on my face and odd clothes on my body getting candy form the houses with lights on in my own neighborhood. That would be more fun!!!  But no fooling around my dear friends and everyone please get your house ready for this one it could be very bad around here. I pray we all will be safe and sound after Sandi leaves us alone.  Please take care everyone!!!

Problem solved!

As it turns out the question of, should I knit white pumpkin caps for the family, has been solved.
Most of you want the pumpkin  or orange colored ones.  So I have a great supply started. But with it being October now I would say you should get that order in for them.

Also I have a great Halloween shirt for you all.  It comes in a large size cotton tee shirt. Has a crew neck and short sleeves.  This shirt maybe machine washed in cool water and regular soap.  Then hang to dry.  With a warm iron for the touch ups.  To buy this shirt go to my web    NannyGoatCrafts.etsy.com  and order it from
there.  Don't you just love Halloween?
