November is a special month to me. A few births, but no deaths to note.
While I notice that the Christmas commercialism is creeping its way closer to the beginning of the month, rather than the post Thanksgiving tradition of years past, I can still manage to shop in retail store for another three weeks. After that - it is a real, not combined, grocery store for me and no retail stores until the middle of January. I refuse to be a part of the "hate thy neighbor and runneth over them" mindset that hits post-Thanksgiving until the giftcards are spent and the returns are finalized in mid-January. Right about now I become "ONLINE GIRL". Better yet this year...if your present is late from me - its a good thing - it means its origin is France.
The reason I started this post was simply to note that November is when the Gingerbread Lattes from Starbucks return. I am so there.
