In Western countries other than America, this makes sense. (And, from what I remember when I studied abroad, it's especially true in England.)

But we have Thanksgiving -- poor, lost, forgotten, skipped over Thanksgiving -- in America. Although you wouldn't really know it if you turned on the TV or walked into a store. Christmas things are already for sale in Harris Teeter, Target, Lowes, Hallmark -- it hurts my heart a little.

Actually, it hurts my heart a lot.

Although...I do have to admit: the one place I'm okay with a little early Christmas cheer is Starbucks. (Shocker.) Even though Red Cups come out a little early -- I am a big fan of both the Chestnut Praline and the Caramel Brûlée lattes. Ever since they got rid of my Vanilla Macchiato, I've been looking forward to my holiday drinks. 

BuzzFeed Presents: The One Thing You Never Noticed About Disney Characters

I feel like I should be surprised by the number of Disney-related things that appear on BuzzFeed.

Head on over to BuzzFeed to view the whole gallery/their thoughts on Disney fingernails. :) 

Happy Birthday Magic Kingdom!

The Magic Kingdom opened today -- October 1st -- 44 years ago, in 1971. Crazy to think how far they've come since then.
