Tut tut, it looks like Christmas!

I love Christmas, a lot. I love everything about it, except for the criticism that I receive for starting my Christmas celebration what some people consider to be too early. And up until a month ago, I thought Eliza and I (and department stores) were the only ones who understood the importance of starting early. Then I came here, and to my delight realized Bordeaux starts putting up its Christmas decorations in October. I have only found one set of lights that are actually turned on, but that doesn't matter. The decorations are up.
