Every year I try to stay upbeat while the days get shorter. I say to myself, “Cool! It’ll be night sooner and I love that crisp, clear air in the Fall.” And then I say, “Oooo, rain! I love rain!” (which I do).
But, every year, I start to panic about the way time is slipping away. It’s almost Thanksgiving already for crud’s sake! I haven’t even started my Christmas shopping!
It’s just not right that people freak out about buying presents for the holidays. It’s not right that you have to do mail-order in October if you want your presents to arrive to your out-of-town sister on time.
Bottom line – the winter holidays blow. There’s no two ways about it.

PS – But if you want to get me presents, I’m not going to stop you.
