Stop Rushing Me

As I was driving JMS to the babysitter today, we went through downtown. And, on the street lights I noticed the community has fall flags/banners hanging on one side (ok, maybe for Thanksgiving), the American flag on the other side (ok, maybe for Veteran's Day), and they were wrapping the poles in evergreen and red ribbons from top to bottom today (ok, for Christmas...really?). STOP RUSHING ME!!!! I love the season of Fall. I love the leaves changing colors, the switching from the summer wardrobe to the winter wardrobe, the sunny days that never quite feel too warm....why do we as a society feel compelled to propel at warp speed from Back-To-School to Christmas. How do we let those in charge know we want to slow down again?

And...as I posted this I was greeted by a sidebar on the blog website telling me that I can actually speed up my blog...NO! STOP RUSHING ME!
