Now that Halloween is over, do you find yourself getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas?
I am looking forward to Thanksgiving and being able to see and spend time with my family. But I have already begun Christmas shopping.

Does it seem there are too many holidays running together this time of year?
Yes. I did not realize it, but I saw on the news that we spend millions of dollars on Halloween. There is a lot of cost in these few days. Thanksgiving costs are travel and food and the same with Christmas, plus the gifts. Within 60 days we have three major celebrations of holidays.

Which of these three holidays could you go without?
Halloween. It’s not that I don’t like seeing the kids in costumes and giving candy. It just does not seem as important as Thanksgiving and Christmas.
