Many of you are still recovering from your Halloween hangover, but Christmas is coming.

You can hear the muzak in the department stores. You can see it in the decorations displayed at the hardware and home improvement stores.

Or, you can drive by Cathedral Square Park and see the trees and decorations in place. I did that the other day when workers were installing them.

There is nothing wrong with installing outdoor decorations early. This weekend, for example, might be a good time to install some lights outside.

But, I wish the Christmas craze could wait until closer to Thanksgiving.
