Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes and his girlfriend Livvy Dunne celebrated Halloween in an interesting way. While many are still in Halloween mode, Skenes and Dunne have already moved on to Christmas.
The couple showcased their costumes on social media, opting for Buddy the Elf from the movie ‘Elf’ and a bottle of Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup. This choice reflects the character’s love for syrup, but it certainly surprised some fans who aren’t yet ready to leap past Thanksgiving.
To give perspective, a similar situation occurred on Halloween a few years back. While working in the office and watching the classic ‘The Invisible Man,’ an unexpected event took place. A family member began setting up the Christmas tree, several weeks before Thanksgiving.
Some embrace the holiday spirit early, humming carols or enjoying small seasonal treats before Thanksgiving. However, for many, the full celebration of Christmas waits until after the Thanksgiving festivities.
Yet, Skenes and Dunne’s early jump into Christmas highlights a trend where people shift holiday gears rapidly. They make this move while others celebrate Halloween with creative costumes, from popular movie characters to whimsical inflatables.
While Halloween offers its own unique joy, Skenes and Dunne remind us of the impending holiday shift. As the celebrations continue, many will soon turn their thoughts to holiday shopping and gift planning. Let the festivities of the season unfold in their own time.
