Some people in my neighborhood have raised a few holiday questions in my mind. Last month the question was:
Is October 8 too early to cover the front of one's house with spooky cobwebs, witches, skeletons, etc?
The answer is:
Yes.
Today the question is:
Is November 4 too early to erect a fully-decorated ten-foot Christmas tree in one's front room?
The answer is:
Yes.
Let's all calm down here people. Do not let retailers entirely skew your sense of time. Halloween is not actually a month-long festival and Christmas is in December. Late December. If we start counting down before Thanksgiving, advent calendars are going to have to get a lot bigger.
