For years now the stores have rushed into the holidays months before it's time to shop, decorate and celebrate. It seems now that the regular population has followed suit! Really now,- a Christmas tree on your front porch the day after Halloween!? What about harvest time, pumpkins and Thanksgiving? Just to be obnoxious I want to dig out all my decorations from Easter to the New Year, adorn the front of the house and hang a banner declaring "I Win!" But winning this ridiculous, underground race would be a loss in the end. I love the fall and winter holidays, the progression, the gatherings, the long, sweet finish to a full year with a brand new one ahead. These months are always so special to me, full of reflection, thanks, and wonder. I thank God for this time of year and what better way to show my gratitude than to savor the moments!
