I patiently refrained from sharing these pictures with you until after Thanksgiving was celebrated in the States, lest any of you felt adamant about focusing on the holiday at hand. It all worked out though in the end - despite this little excursion, I didn’t ruin Thanksgiving :-) It felt a little wrong and it wasn’t even very cold out, but I couldn’t contain my excitement.
I saw the Christmas displays the week they went up (first week of November) at Galeries Lafayette and Printemps. So while I can still say in good conscience that I haven’t blasted my Mariah Carey Merry Christmas album just yet, I do have to come clean. (I once snapped at Michael and proclaimed he was “ruining Christmas” by playing holiday tunes in July.
I don’t like to rush through Thanksgiving, and I try my best to savor each holiday as they come. Every year I hold out, hard as it may be, to refrain from listening to Christmas music non-stop until after Thanksgiving.
