'Tis the Season?

Apparently some people are already Christmas shopping. Clearly Pottery Barn, Land's End and a whole host of other stores and catalog chains want to seduce me into the idea of buying presents three months in advance. Look at all the catalogs that have been found in my mailbox in just the past week.




Well I won't do it. The leaves are still green here, people! My winter coat is still in storage. It's September! Stop the madness!
