Let it begin

Now that the traditional dark-chocolate Cella cherries have been found twice again at CVS (once Eckerds), although at about double what they used to go for at Target, holiday shopping is pretty much concluded, at least the sort that subjects a person to excruciatingly bad music and the sight of hordes of unhappy people. Any seasonal music at the Chuy's parade will be just fine. Most of it will be live, anyhow, but I hope never to hear "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" ever, ever again.
