I have been trying to figure out why I am just not getting into the holiday season like I have in the past. First of all I am sure the heatwave we have been experiencing for the past week might have something to do with it. Pumpkin spice doesn’t really sound tasty when the sun is cooking you every time you go outside. When the heat smacks you in the face you want lemonade. YIKES! I think the other problem is I have yet to watch a Hallmark Original Christmas movie. I completely missed watching them in July for the Christmas in July holiday season, and I just haven’t had time this month. This week I am going to make it a point to watch two Hallmark Original Christmas movies back to back and see if I can get myself back on track. I got Halloween decorations to put up. I need the push.
