…and a little piece of me died.

We are now in the Halloween season.  Pumpkins, ghosts, and candy corn…then, comes Thanksgiving with the turkey, stuffing and large buckles on shoes.  (Editor’s note: I grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, OF COURSE we made a huge deal out of Thanksgiving.  I’m surprised my parents didn’t try to build a summer cabin on top of Plymouth Rock.)  Where was I?  Oh, yes.  Then Christmas, with the trees, presents and EGGNOG.

I have chosen to call this Premature Celebration.  Some of you might be familiar with this condition.  Go to any store and you’ll see Halloween and Christmas decor situated right next to each other–so close that that one might forget about Thanksgiving altogether.

To solve this, we should just give in and do what the merchants have done–combine all the holidays and give them a new name.

Like…      Hallowthanksmas

              Thanksmasween

or maybe:  Masweenanks

And what about Arbor Day?  People, I find it challenging enough to remember to change the oil in my car every 3,000 miles. 

I am not calling for a boycott on eggnog because I, too, enjoy that thick creamy concoction of ingredients that makes our eyes roll back in our heads.  But, let’s keep this out of season purchase where it belongs–hidden in the fridge in the garage.

Sincerely, Todd
