What is that I smell in the air?

I know it is very hard to be thinking about the next holiday before this one is over.  I got some sense of Christmas this week...I was in a long line at the post office mailing a birthday present.  I also got a call from The River Gallery in Independence, Oregon(about 30 minutes from Corvallis) where I am a contract artist to tell me they install the Holiday Show next week and are looking for new work this week.  I turned in several ornaments, handwoven scarves and kitchen towels for sale.  Many of the ornaments I finished up last year because I know how hard it is for me to be thinking of Christmas this early.  Weaving scarves and towels all year long is pure therapy.  I prefer to stick with Thanksgiving until...so I stopped at Bugerville for a Pumpkin Milkshake on the way home to get me back in the Thanksgiving mood.
