Thursday morning before work, I took a nice long walk outside (something I haven’t done much of this winter, due to the constantly icy roads).  As I walked, I saw one Christmas wreath after another still hung on people’s front doors.  And those stupid little icicle lights hanging off gutters.  And ropes of Christmas greenery strung around poles and porch posts.

To quote a woman we met in Nantucket one February:  “Helll-looo – Christmas is O-VER!!“ 

Please, for the sake of incoming spring and Abby’s sanity, please take down those Christmas decorations.  Please???
