In Defense of the Noble Pumpkin #OneMonthOneHoliday
Today I saw, next to the Halloween section in Kohls, a full size, out in the open, no holds barred, Christmas tree.
My One Month, One Holiday post came a little earlier last year. Not by too much however. My views have not changed. I think I'm being more than fair that each month gets it's own holiday. I don't think we should be celebrating Halloween right now. There are still 40 something-ish days until the day, so I feel it is way too early.
The only thing I feel crosses all borders and can transcend time is the Noble Pumpkin. It doesn't symbolize Halloween for me, but rather a change of seasons. Plus, it is so yummy.
I do understand there is a time and place for it, however I feel that time is Autumn, and not just Halloween. It is the only thing that is associated with a holiday that I fully embrace outside of the holiday. What can I say? I'm a gourd lover.
