The fact that Chrismas==Christmas shopping seems to be the problem here. I don’t get that at all. You know what I think of about the holidays? Time that everybody gets to spend together. And I’ve been looking forward to it since August. Why wouldn’t I? ---

Oh hell yes! My son and I are already planning our annual trip to the Tulalip reservation to buy a giant cache of fireworks for the 4th! ---

I’m in the mood for Halloween and just finished preparations that involve verifying my front porch light switch functions as designed in the “off” position. ---

I’m seriously considering letting go of Christmas this year. It’s nothing but stress and I can’t afford to buy anyone presents except my daughters. They could be given presents any time though, not just December 25th. It’s not like any of us are Christian. The only thing holding me back is my SO, a Catholic Christian who was so poor he never got a gift and had it in his head that he was a bad boy because he never got anything. I have to give him Christmas I guess. Bah. Humbug. I’d really rather celebrate Happy Tax Refund Day personally. ---

Oh and I was sooo in the mood for Halloween until my little girl got strep throat. She’s so sick she’s missed this whole week of school and therapy. Two parties and a parade. There’s a carnival tomorrow but I doubt she’ll be better by then. ---

I’ve worn a different orange dialed watch everyday this week in celebration of Halloween. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-in-the-mood/558308.md?page=1)
