can we skip september

?

I love October. I don't hate September but when this time of year rolls around (back to school, hooray for Target commercials) I would be fine if I could skip most of September, or better yet just have two months of October. That would be fine.

I love fall, I love Halloween, I obviously love to watch The Shining on repeat (I do this even in the summer time...and Christmastime, and all the time) so why can't we just have a really long October? I don't think that many people would be opposing.

It's the kick-off to the holidays which a lot of people love, I kind of don't love a whole lot but I don't mind the holidays. You have autumn and leaves and Halloween and all the scary stuff and then it's November and oh the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade that Aadi and I watch every year. Then food and Rebecca Black Friday and hopefully buying a Dyson pet vacuum. Then comes December, the month of my birth (and then the birth of Jesus as well, not that I'm trying to steal anyone's thunder or anything) and Santa and reindeer and snow (I HATE SNOW but I love snow until it SNOWS).

And then the new year. And then it's really boring until next back to school when I start to remember that IT IS ALMOST OCTOBER.
