Do I really, really have to take down all my Christmas decorations? You wouldn’t think it was weird if I had a Christmas tree in my living room next June, would you?

(See, that’s why we’re friends.)

Okay, okay, I’ll take it down. But I can already tell my ornaments have multiplied like bunnies in the last month, and will almost certainly overflow out of my storage containers and explode in my attic like a tinsel tornado.

So anyone who wants a little infusion of Christmas spirit sometime around Arbor Day, is welcome to enjoy a hot cup of coffee and the pleasing aromas of insulation and mustiness white sitting atop a cardboard box of mystery items in my attic. Don’t say I never offered!
