It's continuing to look a lot like Christmas!

And I, for one, approve!

I'm not sure what it's like where you live, but here in Boston, I haven't seen a single tree dumped unceremoniously in the trash the day after New Year's. Mine's still up -- but of course I only put it up and all Christmas decorations on Christmas Eve -- and so are many in the neighborhood. Tromping around the streets, I can joyously still see sparkling lights, Nativity scenes...everything. It's wonderful, of course, but I wonder why the change? Seems to me that not so long ago -- like maybe last year or the year before -- the Christmas Season was abysmally short.

Anyway, it's great.
