Holidaze part one

There are still dozens of bulbs to go into the ground. So far, the music-avoidance project has been successful. Not even a quick trip to Target on the annual run for chocolate cherries enrobed in dark chocolate smote us with unwanted tunes. There was absolutely no music at all playing, except from a try-it-out CD kiosk, with samples of albums like bagpipe music, zydeco music, and so forth. Not even that was ostentatiously seasonal. The use-them-up project has also been successful so far. Not one additional seasonal greeting card has come into this household. The wandering Rudolph's tree lot has been located. The Christmas tree will wait a while, but the lot is back at 2401 South Lamar, by the trailer park, the shady spot that's been the traditional location. Whew! That's one quest successfully concluded.
