November

Hello November, if I can call you that.

How are you?

I’m sorry for only getting back to you now, but you know how it is, a busy life and time just flies.

I’ve known you for about 47 years, but these past few years it seems that you are more distante. At first I thought it was something I said or probably something I forget to do (at least that’s what happens with my wife), but then I did some thinking and I know I know what happened.

You are having a identity crisis and we all know who’s behind the Calendar Bullying, its mean old December and October.

We can't blame October to much, you know how he is, scary guy... This Halloween thing got to his head to much and he’s feelings are about as hallow as the pumpkins we put in front of the house.

The leader, the one to look out for is this December, he comes in all cheerful, full of lights, presents and all that crap that Christmas is every day if we feel it in our hearts but deep down inside you and I know what he wants! We saw this before anyone else did and I must say, people have been so blind.

HE WANTS YOU!!

Yeah, those "trick or treats" still hit you good on your first day but the rest of your 29 are all about December now. That December guy wants to be the biggest, he wants to be 61 days. I sincerely don’t know who screwed up February, I wasn’t born yet, but I clearly see that the same thing is happening to you!

I don't have it in my power to do anything November, I’ve tried, so did Guns n Roses, Keanu Revees and Charlize Theron.

I’m just a simple guy. I apologize so deeply to you because probably this year I’m going to put up my tree before December.

Someday you’ll be gone and in school the kids will learn the 11 months of the year.

Take care my friend, I won’t be seeing you around soon.
