Hey. It’s November. Time to put up christmas decorations!
Yes. I know. Thanksgiving comes first. And I will eat some turkey and lots of pie. (lots and lots of pie) But Thanksgiving isn’t a decorating holiday, no matter what pinterest or the inflatable yard decor industry tries to tell you.
So set up the tree, and the lights, and the stockings, and the reindeer, and the little Dicken’s village, and the fancy plates, and whatever else is in the endless pile of red and green totes in the attic. Then in a couple weeks, take a break, hang out with family, and eat yourself stupid. Then go shopping. Then continue decorating and wrapping and baking and whatever else your traditions dictate until the end of the year.
After that, hide in a blanket fort until the ground thaws. Fuck January & February.
Oh. And don’t go thanking Ben Franklin for that extra hour of sleep you think you got this morning. You’re not actually getting anything extra. You’re just getting back what was stolen from you last March.
