ho ho ho

halloween candy is still overflowing from the candy bowl.
halloween decorations are still out.
garrett just got 2 new halloween costumes courtesy of target's 75% off sale.

but the new holiday at our house is christmas.

garrett saw the decorations up at the mall yesterday.

his new obsession is santa, reindeer and the words "ho ho ho."

his one concern so far is that santa is going to get snow in our house when he comes.

oh and garrett has given me the following promise about a zillion times..."mom, i will be brave. i won't cry at santa."

so the countdown begins until santa takes his spot at the mall...
