Scrap Your Trip Adds 241 Items + 241 S*A*L*E Items

When northerners move to Florida, one of the biggest adjustments is the difference in our seasons.  Any Floridian will tell you that we do have four seasons, but there just isn’t as much contrast as up North. 

Apparently, we are just going to skip fall in Florida this year, because while my friend Greg from Wisconsin is posting pictures of snow flurries out his office window on Facebook, I spent Sunday at the clubhouse pool with the kids.  I even got a little sun!

The change in holiday seasons also seems to be a little off this year.  I remember from when I was a little kid that the “official” start of Christmas was when Santa came at the end of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. 

Every year, the holiday seasons seem to come upon us earlier and earlier.  We eat lunch at Cracker Barrel often and they have had their Christmas stuff out for weeks. 

I rant about this every year, but I realized that maybe the reason they start the holiday seasons so early is because that’s what their customers want.

Well, I always want to do what MY customers want, so I decided that I should just ask you.  It’s possible that I am not the best judge of this, considering I didn’t put my tree up until the weekend before Christmas last year.

So, what’s the verdict, Scrap Your Trippers?  When do you want to start seeing Christmas scrapbooking stuff?  Do you need it really early for card making?  Any particular companies or lines that you’d like to see?  Please leave us comments on the blog and we’ll follow your lead.
