is Christmas over yet?

it's only the start of November and Christmas is in full force in stores and malls. radio stations (they still exist, amazingly) are already playing Christmas songs.

i have quite a few invites for parties, mostly falling on or around the five days surrounding the 25th, which i have all turned down because i intend to spend those days by myself and quietly, except for the church family dinner.

day one of the One Week Only challenge https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/49936/2024-one-week-only and today's challenge is 'rule of odds'.

This Christmas will be very different. Melody's brother is coming out from Ontario

It's too early for me- but I have seen stuff in stores (no Christmas music thank goodness!) and one home on my way to work is putting up lights. Even so- I like the minimal Christmas ornaments pictured here.

Christmas seems to get earlier every year, early November is way too early.
