Already??!!??

I could swear that I just latched the attic door after putting the Christmas decorations away for the year…like honestly…I just did it.  And yet, there I was this past Sunday…breakin’ the seal on the ol’ hatch-in-the-ceiling, once again, to pull down all the implements of merriment that have been stashed away for, what seems like, about ten minutes – I’m not sure there was even time for dust to form on the boxes.  I know we can’t stop time but, damn…could we, at least, find a way to take our foot off the accelerator and coast for a while??  I’m sure everyone has a house, or two, in their neighborhood that wears it’s Christmas lights year-round – one where the owners just simply unplug them, for ten months at a time, and then fire ’em back up again the day after Thanksgiving (maybe it’s YOUR house).  We have a few of those in my ‘hood and, although I think such practices are a complete violation of holiday etiquette…and I would never partake in them myself, I gotta tell ya…I get it.  The older I get and the faster time seems to fly by – I GET it.  Anyway, I’d write more but…I gotta go hide Easter Eggs.
