No Christmas Until After Thanksgiving

Unless your country wasn't settled by Puritans. In that case, apparently, the magic day to put up Christmas decorations is October 18th. There are lights sprouting up in apartment windows all over. Our neighbors downstairs kind of jumped the gun a little, though. They've had a snowman stocking on their door and a huge bowl of poinsettias on their coffee table for weeks.

...I don't know if they've ever seen a snowman before...

  1. Haha the girl on the bus told me the 18th was pretty big for Christmas, I underestimated her report I guess. How bad does the snowman look that you don't think they've ever seen one before?

  3. Oh yes. It's still Dec. 25th. But they don't have a major holiday between now and then.
