Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the speedy month of December are right around the corner.
It's true. In less than a week, you're going to be lounging on the couch after Thanksgiving dinner, and some grandma or uncle or cousin is going to say, "Soooo, what's on the kids' wish list this year?"
Ugh, is it really time to think about the holidays, let alone start shopping?
Why, yes, yes it is...

Do You Think It's Too Early To Put Up Your Christmas tree?: that's the question CafeMoms are discussing over in Advice for Moms.
So far the "Yes" vote is winning (although about 35% of you say "No, it's *not* too early").
What's about in your home?

Everyone likes something different on New Year's Eve. Some of us like to go out on the town, and others of us like to have family fun at home. Then there are those (me) who procrastinate making plans and then end up with no plans.
No matter what you're doing this New Year's Eve, tell us more about your plans in the comments below, especially if you have creative and fun ideas for an evening at home (cause I need some).

I took my Christmas tree down already. And so did tonisalex and several other CafeMoms over in The CafeMom Newcomers Club.
Glad I'm not the only one.
