So, the holiday season is here again...

I know I say this every year but wasn't Christmas over last week!? Thanksgiving is just a week away and then Christmas not too long after that. I am wholly convinced that I will begin seeing the holiday decorations in August just any year now. It gets earlier and earlier each year. Then there is the issue of the naming of the season. When I was in school we got out for Christmas break; now my kids get out for winter break. We no longer see, or say, Merry Christmas now it is Happy Holidays. I guess it isn't politically correct to inject the word Christ into the reason why we even have the season. I know one thing, I will be happy to see January 2, 2011 so I can again be surprised that it has snuck up on me yet another year.
