The scent of holly is in the air …
The warm October air is quickly being sucked through a vacuum as the cool breeze of November rolls into town. Barely into the season, I watch as an elderly woman adds ornaments to a plastic tree already heavily covered in gold and silver tinsel.

So funny!
I clicked through to your post and laughed out loud. Here's my fave part:
"I love it. I love every tacky little thing that this woman is doing. I am secretly jealous that people expect this of her because she is crazy and old.
"I want to do it. I want to deck out my home with holiday cheer in November. I want to wear reindeer antlers on my head and put up mistletoe over my door. I want a wreath with tacky elves and a plastic Santa Claus that shouts “ho ho ho” when he detects motion..."
Go girl. I want to see a photo of those antlers....

You have Lisa laughing but
you are making me nervous. Very nervous. I think I have a couple of kids who are very much like you. Any second now one of them is going to ask if she/he can dig in the garage for the decorations. I just know it.
