It’s November! Which means it’s the holiday season! Which
means I can finally listen to Christmas music without feeling guilty! (I may
have cheated and listened to a song or two, two weeks ago.) Some people say you
can’t start listening to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving, but my rule
is after Halloween. My reasoning
for this? The day after Thanksgiving is when I put up my Christmas tree which
means I’ve already started thinking about gifts and decorations so therefore, I
of course must already be listening to Christmas music to be in the spirit of
the holiday!
So yes, as I write this post I am listening (and singing) to
Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey and *NSYNC Christmas with my Winter Forest candle
from Gap that smells like a Christmas tree, right beside me. It’s a perfect
morning to the start of a wonderful season! Did I mention my birthday is only
six days before Christmas which makes it all the more wonderful!?!
Before I get too ahead of myself and spoil all of my future
posts of the next two months, I must share our experience yesterday.
The hubs and I could not agree on a Halloween costume. We usually do a couples costume but
this year we procrastinated too long and could not come to an agreement so we
went as two completely different people. He was Napoleon Dynamite and I was Hello Kitty.
As we were searching the costume store at the 11th
hour, the hubs found the Napoleon Dynamite wig/glasses and would not put it
down! I tried to tell to him Napoleon Dynamite was so eight years ago but we was
not having it. He would be
Napoleon Dynamite if it was the last thing he did!! And let me tell you, he was
the best Napoleon Dynamite I have ever seen! I’m pretty sure he was better than
Jon Heder in the actual movie. If
he acted how he did last night and tried out for the part, no one would even
know the name Jon Heder!
The whole night he was in character. Every opportunity he got to relate a
situation to his character, he did.
Example 1: We went to a party at our friend’s house. He had a bike resting in the living
room so of course the hubs jumped on it and asked if it had been taken off of
any sweet jumps lately. Example 2:
Another one of our friends came dressed up as Leslie Knope from Parks and
Recreation. She was passing out “Vote Knope” pins in which the hubs threw to
the ground and said, “Vote for Pedro!”
Example 3: When someone asked the hubs what he was eating he told them
it was Tina’s dinner. Example 4:
Before we left for the party he learned the dance Napoleon did at the talen
show and would randomly bust it out in the middle of the party. And the list goes on and on.
So maybe just this once, the hubs was right about his
costume. He rocked Napoleon
Dynamite and it was fun to see a little blast from the past!
Happy Holidays!
