Sitting in the dentist’s chair the other day, through the chatter, grinds and squeals of the various devices being employed, I could hear Bing Crosby singing Jingle Bells. Maybe with the Andrews Sisters. Leaving the office, walking through the mall, there stood, resplendent in its attire, was a Christmas Tree beaming with delight. I seem to recall my dad once saying that his parents set up the tree about a week or so before Christmas. I could be wrong, but to start decorating mid-November seems a bit early.
Yet, even though an earlier start to the celebration is driven by commercial reasons, the joy that comes with accepting the spirit of the season is worth the rub.
