Do You See What I See?
Wednesday, October 17, 2012 at 11:05PM I mean, do you see what I see?!
Because I think I see Christmas lights!
In the middle of October!
We don't even have all of our Halloween Fall Fun Fest costumes figured out.
I did just realize that I have a nativity set on the piano, and a wreath made of poinsettias outside next to the front door. Maybe I'll shut up now.
What is worse? Never taking stuff down, or putting it up way too early? Isn't October a little early for the fully lit yard (and believe me when I say this was a professional job, and it was a FULLY LIT yard)?
In case you're wondering, you better believe that I'm leaving my stuff up, because why bother to take it down now? Christmas is just around the corner. Literally.

Oh, come now, the nativity set and the poinsettia-wreath are still up for theological reasons – the incarnation of Jesus Christ is the reason we can be in fellowship with God every day of the year, not just on "Christmas." So, in this case, "never taking stuff down" is a passionate protest against confining Jesus to a particular season of the year and a proclamation of the everlasting nature of God's union with humanity.
See, it's a matter of devotion....
(Lord, forgive me.)
Christmas lights in October???
Just. Plain. Wrong.
Not to mention two extra months of scary electric bills. Or maybe that's when makes them appropriate for Halloween!
