Grinch Days

I always like Christmas. It almost always disappoints, but I still like the season.

I DON'T like seeing Christmas decorations going up before Halloween has arrived, nor when the Christmas music starts almost before those Halloween costumes are discarded. It seems to me that each holiday deserves its own bit of time, and Christmas does not need to infringe on months that already have celebrations.

So, here's to the tree - which is looking a little bare this year - and here's to all the season's goodies – which I'm not supposed to eat – and here's to all the pretty lights – which I thoroughly enjoy. Hope you have a good one.
