On Halloween, my 9th-grade daughter handed out candy to trick-or-treaters. She did this while listening to Christmas music on Pandora. By Saturday, the Christmas decorations were up.

This is her favorite time of year and, I notice, she’s not alone. The anticipation of Christmas no longer waits for the day after Thanksgiving. I have already heard Mariah Carey’s “All I want for Christmas is You.”
