Countdown to Christmas - 79 Days

My favorite cooking magazine arrived in the mail last Friday and there on the cover was a beautiful, bronzed Thanksgiving turkey! Thanksgiving? I double-checked the calendar: it was only Oct 2nd. It's not us, my friends, it's the forces on the outside, making us a bit loopy. So I say take control of your holiday season! And my small act of defiance is this: I'm hiding my magazine until Nov. 1st. That's right. On Nov. 1st I'll lie on my couch with a cup of tea or a stiff drink and face the side dishes. Didn't someone once say radical change is only possible through small, meaningless acts? Then I'm well on my way.
