I'm getting ahead, too
Wandering through the grocery store this evening I noticed that the Christmas candy was already on display and looked like it had been there since before Halloween. C'mon! We haven't even celebrated Id al Fitr or Thanksgiving yet!
Okay, I'm getting ahead, too. I've been putting Christmas songs in an iTunes waiting list for months. 
And I bought Jeff Foxworthy's "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas" and Bill Engvall's "Here's Your Sign Christmas" already. Eight more songs await as does the Veggie Tales The Incredible Singing Christmas Tree album. Well, I'll probably get just a couple tracks from that.
And I've been purchasing presents for people since at least August. Not many and nothing big, but a few here and there. I haven't really been in a jolly, holiday mood in years and haven't decorated since my daughter's last Christmas. But more than I dislike getting presents I like giving them in abundance. And I don't usually need a holiday.
I'd better get going with the wrapping, though, 'cause I'm going to be celebrating in early December with half the folks on my list. That's the only time I could manage to take off before the end of the year. Maine, here I come. In a month.
