In a world of Hallmark holidays and seasonal craze, I am pleased that Nordstrom continues to savor the goodness of Thanksgiving and (appropriately) refuses to deck its halls until the Friday after Thanksgiving. Don't get me wrong, I look forward to Christmas, but I find the gradual holiday creep (literally some establishments that will remain nameless had Christmas decorations out prior to Halloween) to undermine the joy and goodness of each season. Like Nordstrom, the Husband and I will be holding off on putting up our Christmas decor until after the last turkey leftovers have been devoured. For now, our house will be filled with the scents of pumpkin and nutmeg and with the joys of giving Thanks.

For Every Good Thing, There Is A Season
