Christmas in November

Driving to the airport this morning, my mother turned on the radio. Sunny 98.3 began to play It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.

Call me a Scrooge, but I expostulated It’s not even Thanksgiving! at the radio. Looking out a window at Route 1, it didn’t look at all like Christmas.

When their next song was Rudolph the Red‐Nosed Reindeer, I got annoyed enough to change the station.
