Christmas! wow it starts early here. We got back from our vacation in Italy this summer (well, early September) and lo! and behold! Shops were already putting out their Christmas things. It is Just Too Early! and people I meet here have the temerity to tell me that they disapprove of the American-style commercialization of Christmas. Oh, whatever! At least in N. America people at least wait for Hallowe'en, or American Thanksgiving to be over.
In blatant disregard of my own disdain of shops which begin with their Christmas displays when it is 25° out and people are still in flipflops, I have been swayed. Yes, I made a wreath. Yes, I pored over some Christmas CDs to put on my iPod. And bought candles. More candles.
And I think the tree will go....there...a little to the left...
