Where has November gone?

As I sat down today to do check my email and Facebook, I realized that November is already half way over.  There is less than 2 weeks left until Thanksgiving and only 37 more days until Christmas!  Can this be right? Where did November go?  It seems like just yesterday we were getting ready for Halloween and now its time for Thanksgiving and then Christmas already.  So panic has now set in since I haven't even finished Christmas shopping, and the deadline for mailing packages back to the states is December 4th.  I guess its time to pull out the decorations, wrapping paper, and Christmas carols, because ready or not the Holidays are coming!
