Every other house on my street is
already sporting enough Christmas paraphernalia to bring down the entire North American power grid...geez!

LOL!!
The economy must be better if the number of times the UPS truck goes up and down the street means anything.
If those blooming tone deaf kids come Christmas caroling again this year, I'm wearing earplugs when I answer the door with my smiling surprised self.
I'm going to prepare my self in advance for the first Christmas tree wreath I see in my car's rear view mirror...no, I haven't missed my exit!
I will run the other way every time I see a fruitcake.
I'll let you know if I think of anything else.
