Good grief. Is it really October 20 already? Where did October go? It's practically holiday season.

On that note.

Me, Hayley, Savannah, and Charis are going to a pumpkin patch this Friday. We were discussing it and planning it through Facebook messages. When everything got settled, I decided to throw another idea out there. I go to craft fairs every year--why not invite these girls for another mommy outing?

So I put that out there. Hayley said it sounded great and that she knew of one happening the 21st. So we'll probably go to that.

The reason this is all worth writing about in a diary entry is because I am wondering whether Savannah will join or not.

I'm not sure if going to "holiday bazaars" is something she can do since they're not doing Christmas.

If I call it "craft fairs," does that make it a difference? What if the event calls itself a holiday bazaar? What if it's an "autumn harvest" bazaar?

What if there are Christmas-y items?

This is just one example of how Savannah and Will's decision not to do Christmas is affecting my life.

I think I'm probably overthinking things, but I don't know. I'm going to talk to Stephen about it tonight.

What would it be like to go through the entire holiday season--all vamping up for Christmas--with no acknowledgment of the holiday as a legitimate holiday whatsoever?

This is probably another reason why I should not do it. I'd be really angry all the time at the society and the culture around me doing things for a holiday I don't recognize.

So anyway...

Just some of the many thoughts that have come out of learning about this decision of Will and Savannah's.
