Spec the Halls Newsletter 2008-3

Note from the editor
I hope everybody's having a great Thanksgiving! (In case of turkey emergencies, check out the holiday tip.)
It seems like the "Christmas season" is starting earlier and earlier--I was a bit startled when I was buying fake tombstones in October and wandered over one aisle to find myself surrounded by twig and pinecone Christmas tree ornaments. It's out-of-control. Alas, this year I contributed to that. ::bows head:: I moved back the end date of the Spec the Halls contest because, well, declaring the winner after Christmas seemed kind of beside the point. Moving the start date back, however, made my "winter holiday" contest start before Thanksgiving.
And that was just plain wrong. So I won't do that again--instead next year it will be a contest that's only open for a couple of weeks, as is right and proper.
If you don't want to start your holidays until tomorrow, just wait to read Christmas stories until then. ;)
