Thank goodness Halloween is over!
Now I can finally move on to Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Maybe I’m jumping the gun a little with Christmas. But I can’t help it. Or rather, the stores won’t let me help it.
I was in a craft store last week looking for some last-minute accessories to add to my daughter’s costume, and I came across these Christmas treat boxes. On sale for 60% off. Gotta get ’em!
Aren’t they pretty?
Then my nose found the cinnamon pine cones. Can anyone resist them, seriously? Gotta get ’em!
Gotta get ’em all! You know, like Pokémon. Gotta catch ’em all! Thank goodness I’m off Pokémon GO. I admit for a while I was a little obsessed.
But I think it’s okay to be obsessed with Christmas. Right?! It’s the most wonderful time of the year…? ? ?
Okay, okay, slow down…there’s still Thanksgiving to go through.
Now, Features!

Apparently I had the same idea with the pumpkin rolls, oh well.
Angie, I don’t think thinking about Christmas already is bad. I have been patiently waiting as this is my favorite time of the year!
Angie says
Oh I didn’t see your pumpkin rolls. I’m sure they’re every bit as adorable. Same here with Christmas. I think it should be celebrated for the entire month of December! ?
Angie says
Oh ok, now I see them. So cute! ??
Monika says
Hi, Angie, it’s much too early to think about Christmas! I know it’s pretty and everything but it’s not even winter yet!
Angie says
I know! But it’s hard to resist! I have to go thru Thanksgiving first though ?
Ai | Ai made it for you says
Happy Fiesta Friday! Thank you so much for featuring my pumpkin buns!? And I’m right with you about Christmas. I can’t help it! I usually start thinking about Christmas in October…? I’ve already bought three Christmas decor items, and I often find myself humming Christmas songs?
Angie says
I had Josh Groban’s O Holy Night on a loop last night as I was working on the post! I just can’t help it! ? Your buns are the cutest! By buns I mean rolls ?

Thank you for hosting this inspirational party. Enjoy your week. My badge is in my sidebar!
Angie says
Thanks, Marilyn! I haven’t made a list of link parties yet. When I do, I’ll make sure to include your badge ?
Jhuls says
Angie, I’ve been out earlier and I started seeing Christmas stuffs as well. People must be so excited and maybe forgetting about Thanksgiving. Hmm, I don’t think so since Thanksgiving involves food, too.? Thanks for Fiesta Friday, Angie. Enjoy your weekend!?
Angie says
I don’t think they’re forgetting Thanksgiving (like you said, food involved, lol), but they’re overly excited about Christmas. I don’t blame them. That’s the one holiday you get presents for not doing anything. Well, you have to be good, so you won’t land on the naughty list ?? Thanks for cohosting! ??
Jhuls says
I know how exciting Christmas would be. Thanks, Angie. It’s a pleasure!
Elaine @ foodbod says
NEVER too early for Christmas!!!! Love it!
Angie says
That’s all the encouragement I need!! Yay!! ??
Elaine @ foodbod says
??? bring it on!!!!
Ginger says
Well, it seems the whole Christmas thing is picking up speed. It doesn’t help that all our birthdays are within 3 weeks around it though, which means I have to get going well before I am really ready for it.
Lovely features last week, those bund are just too cute!
Have a lovely weekend!
Angie says
Wow, 3 birthdays around Christmas?! That must be tough, but then you only need to decorate once ? See, there’s always a silver lining. Happy weekend, Ginger!
Ginger says
Like your positive thinking … 🙂
TurksWhoEat says

Lathiya says
I don’t know whether I’m ready for Christmas or Christmas Vacation ..Badly in need of a vacation..and ya I Love all those colors and treats involving the Christmas..
Angie says
I think both, Lathi ? We need both Christmas and Christmas break ?
Antonia says
Everything looks amazing this week Angie, and those pumpkin buns are just perfect! I am with you too, on to the next holiday! I love the treat boxes, they are too cute! I am thrilled to be co-hosting this week. Happy Fiesta Friday and have a great weekend! 😀
Angie says
I’m still blown away every time I look at those buns! They look so realistic. Thanks for cohosting, Antonia! And let the Christmas season begin! But maybe we should let Thanksgiving shine first a little ?
Antonia says
You’re welcome, I enjoy it! 😀 Yes, a little Thanksgiving, lol!
