Back in November, in one of my occasional attempts at being funny, I suggested a technique for keeping the spirit of Halloween alive after the day was over. In reality, on Thanksgiving I was walking around and noticed that, even at that point, there were still a few houses with Halloween decorations (one of which was a spider “skeleton”). And then that night there were television specials featuring Christmas music, and the next day everyone started putting up Christmas decorations.
This has set me to wondering if, in the same way that everything between Boston and Richmond has been merging into a megalopolis over the last several decades, everything from Halloween to New Year’s Day might merge into one mega-holiday that runs continuously from early October into early January.
One hundred days of a skeleton in a Santa suit serving us turkey . . .
