Let's Just Enjoy The Now

 We went to Cracker Barrel to get a bite to eat.
I really adore their little shop that you "have to" walk through to get to the restaurant.
That's great marketing strategy...
Anyway, they have hopped over Halloween and Thanksgiving and are in full blown Christmas mode.
Don't get me wrong, it's lovely, but can't we just enjoy the now.
It is 30 days until Halloween, 55 days until Thanksgiving and 85 days until Christmas.

And what about Autumn?

Oh my. I’d really like to enjoy October before any thought of Christmas. Smile.

I love Cracker Barrel. I wish there was one closer to us. I think there is only one in N.J.

We are only promised today so let's enjoy every minute of it. As far as commerical shops are concerned, and with Covid still around, perhaps they are thinking if they may not be open at Christmas time so better get the goods sold now!!!

Happy October Wishes.

I think with Covid still very much around many shops are displaying their Christmas goodies early this year.

All the best Jan

Yah, that's a little annoyingly early.

By the time it actually gets to December I'm burned out on Xmas.

Hello,
They are pretty decorations. But, all the stores seem to push their holiday items too fast. I am not ready for Christmas or winter.
Thank you so much for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend. PS, I appreciate your comment and visit.

I like Christmas atmosphere but now it's a bit early!
However the decorations are very beautiful.

Since Autumn is my favorite time it surely makes me sad that they totally skipped Thanksgiving/Autumn time. I agree it is beautiful but really do we need to think that far ahead, so true to let's just enjoy each day as they come and not hurry things along, with that enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I do love the cute Pooh quote. It's true; we need to enjoy each day and have fun moments during each of the holidays and seasons. I don't like when they skip over and start to soon Holidays. I say alot; "Enjoy the Moment".
I do like to eat at Cracker Barrel. I think I will wait until after Thanksgiving to enjoy a meal there.
Blessings and hugs!
