Well, it’s the middle of October, and I’m already seeing businesses (I’m looking at you, Costco and Dollarama) putting out their Christmas merch. I mean, it’s not even Hallowe’en yet… Sigh. However, I do like to think in advance for Christmas, and that’s mostly because

We’re having a very strange fall here on the West Coast. June was rainy and cold, so it feels like September and October are trying to. make up for it. We’ve had an incredibly dry and unseasonably hot September and October so far, but rain
