While running some errands this morning I decided to stop by Bath and Body Works to grab my all time favorite candle, Leaves. Its the best candle ever and they have it in store for maybe 2 nano seconds every year. I get to the store and notice the big sign out front that says "All Fall items are 50% off." Well great, 50% off fits into my budget! Maybe instead of getting a little candle, I can now spend the same amount I was planning on spending and get a bigger candle. I was trying to be optimistic. I knew that because that sign was out, that there would be very little Fall items left, and the would definitely be NO Leaves items left. I go in the store anyway.
Um yeah. Christmas. Everywhere. They weren't messing around. Im talking balls to the wall Christmas.
Sigh. Fall, you are a sneaky little mistress. This year you came late. You danced your little dance and left a trail of swirling leaves in your wake. Im sorry that Christmas has stolen your spotlight. Im sure Thanksgiving feels your pain. You should start a support group together. Ill come to the meetings.
I managed to find a pumpkin candle and a marshmallows candle that I liked. They should get me through these next few weeks.
But in the spirit of embracing the present, I treated myself to some Christmas/Winter novelties, A peppermint shake from Chick-fil-a, and some peppermint bark form Williams Sonoma.
Just these few little extras have made the day good. The peppermint tastes cold and crisp and wintery. Im not ready quite yet to embrace winter/Christmas with open arms but I loved this little taste test into the future!
