I’ve noted before that the days between Thanksgiving Day and the first of December are among the silliest of the calendar year. When Thanksgiving is over you just want it to be December.

This year I’m trying to make the most of that time, having gone full Clark Griswold on holiday decorations from about seven a.m. last Friday morning.

If you want to see my progress…

mine’s the one with the eight-foot-tall inflatable Santa Claus in the yard.
