Now that the end of 2006 has arrived, and all the stuff the
shopsoverstocked with for Christmas is being cleared, it's time to
play "Spot the first Valentine card" and "Spot the first Easter egg"
(Cadbury Cream eggs don't count).
Upon popping into the local Meijer's store (a combined supermarket and
department store) to pick up a bag of dry cat food this afternoon, I
discovered as I passed by the greeting card section a prominent riser
containing Valentine's Day cards.
Since we love Halloween, I keep telling my other half we should start
putting out the Halloween decorations around July or August for the
benefit of those people who actually put up their Christmas decorations
3 months early.
I will say, however, that I was delighted to see this past Thursday
someone who still had a Halloween decoration up -- one of those witches
who's flown into something. In this case, the gable end of a small
house. If some people (like the people who live across the street from
us) want to leave their Christmas decorations up for several months
after the holiday, I say Halloween decorations are fair game as well.
Next year we plan to bake Halloween cookies for Christmas ... just to
catch people by surprise, and to hopefully knock some sense into at
least one........
All this having been said, Happy & Prosperous New Year to all!!

a warm wet winter so far, and I'm not complaining -- it's keeping the
heating bill down
