Daylight savings New York style and random thoughts


So i'm aware New York is no different than anywhere else in the world that participates in daylight savings, but i'm so thrilled that it happened later than it normally does. I hate it being dark so early, so push it back as long as possible. Not only does it now start getting dark around here at 4 and not 5, it's so freakin' dark when i get up in the morning! The past couple of days i've gotten up at 8 (work, marathon, warehouse sale...yes it requires you to get up early, haven't you heard the early bird gets the best choice of discount jeans!). Now i'm not saying 8 is early, but it is still kinda dark out...makes me feel like it's going to rain or snow soon. Oh, on that note i heard Wisconsin is getting snow today...brrrrrr.
So walking E. home from the indoor playground/play area (yeah, welcome to new york) in the dark i started thinking about how xmas is so soon...7 weeks?! When is it appropriate to put up my xmas lights and decorations? Is November 5 too soon? There's no doubt i could find a place that sells that stuff now, i could just go to the pharmacy we all know how soon they started decorating. I'll keep you posted as to when Christmas hits my house.

I have a rule in my house: Dec 1st. That goes for decorations AND music. Any time before that and I go crazy because it's around for too long. Aleyah thinks it's very Scrooge-y of me. I say whatever it takes to preserve my sanity!
And speaking of decorations, did you get that art fair poster framed/put up on your wall?
