So can we take down the outdoor decorations now? You know the house I’m talking about, there’s one in every neighborhood - the overdone yard that causes traffic jams because every damm driver slows down or stops to gawk at the profusion of lights and statuary. I don’t care about indoor decorations. I didn’t bother with them this year, and if someone wants to keep their dying tree around until march, it’s not my problem. But please - get rid of the damm light up lawns.

And the music. No more christmas music. I am officially tired of it and will not want to hear any more of it until next november at the earliest. I am blocking out the third helping of “Felice Navidad” coming over the radio with my earphones firmly in place and Apoclypicta’s rendition of Sandman streaming into my brain.
