    Commercialism has it all backwards. The Christmas season STARTS on Dec 25th!
    Yeah, as a child attending Mass I noticed we never sang Christmas music until Christmas Eve. It lasted for a few weeks then it was back to regular music. At least in the Episcopalian Church the Season of Epiphany lasts until Lent.

    And My mom never put the tree up before the 22nd.

    PS I have cousins in Rhode Island, Middletown I believe.

    I'm with Freedom... after Christmas I still want to listen to holiday music!

    I've seen a LOT of Christmas trees in front room windows the past couple of days.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    LOL,

    What get's me in the mood is probably the worst for us here is So Cal.....

    The smell of fireplaces.

    ------------------

    AQMD be damned!

    There was an effort afoot to ban all wood burning fireplaces in the next few years by the board......

    Can people not install some sort of scrubber/filter that'll remove the fine particulate matter, and still burn the wood for heating purposes? Surely that'd be a money-making scheme for someone - big powerplants have scrubbers on their stacks ...

    I don't remember the 'retrofit' particulars for WBFPs but, they would be a ban on all new construction of WBFP-gas only..


    A link to the proposal from '07?

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.
