Sweater Season

Guess what? Sweater season has arrived! Well, if you live anywhere north of FL that season has been in place for a while. Bits and pieces of cold have come and gone as we are stuck in a roller coaster weather pattern. But now that Thanksgiving is over, the time has come for sweaters to emerge from the closet since Winter is on the mind. I pulled these sweaters out of my closet while visiting home last weekend, hoping it would soon be time to wear them. This, of course, coincides with Christmas season, presumably getting people excited about some of the materialistic aspects of Christmas. Did you go out at midnight for crazy sales after Thanksgiving? Did you battle crowds to go shopping?

I did not. I played tennis the morning after Thanksgiving with the siblings and we stopped at the craft store for supplies afterwards, which was busy, but I would not constitute that as a crazy shopping experience. That scene isn't really for me. The consumerism aspect of Christmas is the least important part of this time of year, and yet it quickly jumps to the top of people's to-do lists. What if everyone rearranged their priority list?
