Christmas is Coming

Our Christmas tree is decorated.  The gifts are wrapped (well, most of them, anyways) and under the tree.  There's at least a foot of snow on the ground.  More and more sale fliers and coupons are being dumped in the mail-box daily.  Some Christmas cards and letters have come in the mail.  All the radio stations seem to be playing Christmas music.  Recipes are being reviewed and selected for the big dinner.

Hmmm ... I guess that Christmas must be getting close.
