It Continues to Look a Lot Like Christmas

My Christmas trees are still up and decorated. The huge wooden nativity scene is still in the front yard. The lights are still shining on the bushes. The three artificial trees are still lit on the front porch. The two real trees are still glowing with lights, one in the front and one near the patio. Am I concerned? No. After all, I can think of it as being early for Christmas 2008. And I have a big excuse with the passing of my father. Also the nativity scene is important no matter what time of year. So with all my excuses used, I will begin the process of taking down the Christmas "stuff" today. I promise.
