Chromatic Chimera

Something in the air this year seems to be causing Early Onset Holiday Feelings. For over a week now, I've been in the mood to put up x-mas lights. It's still way too early. I'll decorate after Thanksgiving. Not that I decorate, really. I'll put up lights, and the little fiber optic tree. I'll have a string across an arch with snowflakes hanging on it, and a stocking on the front door. That's about it. But it just feels like the right time to curl up with a blanket and put on a sweater and eat baked things. Like cookies, and bread.
