The 40-odd Days of Christmas

A wet and dreary day today, so I went to the mall to try to replace my mantel clock which went on permanent strike when I attempted to set it back to standard time a couple of weeks ago. And to my surprise (though I can't imagine why I was surprised), I found it was time to be thinking about Christmas shopping already.

Now don't get me wrong: I'm not one of the grumpy old f***s who moans about Christmas every year. I love Christmas. I just don't think I can sustain the momentum for quite this long.
