"Christmas is getting so big it's starting to eat the other holidays."
Jon Stewart
Jeez! Yes, Christmas now starts around Halloween, has pretty much
devoured Thanksgiving (MUCH to my dismay), and now, and NOW
it is December 4 and I am forced to run the a/c in my car, dig out my anti-humidity hair spray (humidity galore, but no rain), and anguish over my tulips (just planted a couple of weeks ago) that are ALREADY STARTING TO COME UP IN MY FRONT FLOWER BEDS!
the pansy bloom any heavier,
the unseasonable clematis blossoms any larger.
indeed,
the Grinch DID steal Christmas.
And then hid it.
