OK, Nic pointed out that the “12 Days of Christmas” apparently begin on Christmas Day, which means the last one of these 12 days is today.
Still, I feel this does not explain the preponderance of so many Christmas decorations that are still up. Some yards are still chock-full of inflated Santas, and festooned with sparkly lights. The lobby of our building still has the Christmas tree up. It’s just weird. It’s all going to clash with Valentine’s Day marketing soon. Not that people decorate their yards for Valentine’s Day. At least not yet.
Anyway, ho ho ho from New Westminster!
