I don’t know how much longer they’ll last, or how long they should.

It is the day after Christmas. By now, I assume, all the packages have been opened, the bowls of eggnog emptied and the stores are full of people exchanging clothes that don’t fit and using gift cards to take advantage of after-Christmas sales. Actually, there should be a name for that. We have Black Friday and Cyber Monday, maybe Last Chance or Time to Get What You Really Want.

I suppose it’s because of the good weather we’ve had – until last week’s winter storm, of course – but there seem to be more Christmas decorations up than in years past.
