• Tracking Santa Around the World
The ride is definitely part of the fun. Plus, there is no tired....none...like Christmas tired. Christmas is so much for, but there is a stretch from the 22-25 that is a lot of work and can be very emotionally draining. When Christmas is over, it takes me a few days of laziness to recuperate.

The 300's are so ugly to me. When we are 299-200....it still is a pretty much a lull....but when we hit 199's and go down...we are on the march back to Christmas and the season. There is so much that being to happen from 199 on....and I love it.
Oh yeah "Christmas tired" might be a good phrase there. You definitely feel it. My body has been aching from it lol.
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 325
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 301
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 240


Happy January Week! It is the first full week of the year folks. And we start it off by looking at our 3 countdowns. We have 325 days till Thanksgiving, 301 days till November, and 240 days till The Bers. Our next milestone happens TOMORROW (on Tuesday). We'll reach the 300 Day Marker to November. From that point on folks we will have more counts in the "2s" than the "3s". That may seem like a little step but it's really a big and important step. Also, it's Monday folks so you know what we do here to get excited on Mondays. The Weekly Count to Thanksgiving Week stands at 46 weeks. Just like that huh? Has it really been 6 weeks since Thanksgiving Week? I guess it has. What a 6 week run it's been huh? Felt like the real full holiday season happened starting that week. And now we have 46 full weeks to go back to that crazy 6 week run again. Well I hope you are all enjoying January. It's important to. Each time of year helps you appreciate the next time coming. Have a great January Week!​
 
I can't wait to start feeling those oh familiar "feels" for Thanksgiving! It should hit me sometime in the spring, and It will be a welcome feeling.

I haven't actually had "the Feels" yet, for Christmas, but i'm no fool, I know it is coming, even though this is the best I've felt mentally post-Christmas, i think in forever.

Yeah, same with my "post mentality." I feel a bit blah, but not like past years. I look forward to first week of work back to help shake off any "blues." I think the routine helps immensely. Fortunately today I'm not too weirded out post-Xmas. Everyone else hanging in there or no?

My house is falling apart at the rafters after Christmas. Boys could care less as long as the video games keep running. The females in the house are all walking on a thin line.
 
46 weeks to go, not too bad, I can't believe how fast the first 6 have flown by!
 
I think the earliest I remember stuff was one year at AC Moore they put out July 4th items and had fall and one 4' section of Christmas in mid May.
Kohl's already has Fourth of July stuff out. And lots of it. They had more next to the Christmas stuff on the back wall too.

DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 324
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 300
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 239


Happy Jumping January! It's got that feel out there where you know we are in the depths of winter now. It's not brutally cold...just normal for this time of year. Let's look at our normal 3 counts speaking of that word: 324 days till Thanksgiving, 300 days till November, and 239 days till The Bers. Well today is a big milestone folks as we have reached the 300 Day Marker to November! That's amazing. And now we will be in more "2s" counts going forward than "3s." How's that feel on this Tuesday morning? Guess what our next milestone is folks? It's Tom Turkey Day #2! That's in 23 days from now (and if you are observant you can see the milestone that will follow that will be the DAY AFTER). Can anyone guess it? Looks like we will trudge through January together here in the Thanksgiving Thread. I love it. Have a great Jumping January!​

I can't believe I never noticed how many milestones there are in January, not just for the Thanksgiving count either but across all of the holiday threads. If I had started counting down years ago maybe I could have avoided so many of the Post-Christmas Blues.

Wow that is just incredible. 6 months ahead of the holiday. Which i guess, is the same thing that happens in Hobby Lobby / Jo Ann Fabrics, etc.. The retail creep is really picking up steam for 2021!
