fake plastic trees
I haven't even finished nibbling my leftover candy corn. On TV, the commercials sing, "Fa la la" despite the fact that the thermostat reads 80 degrees. I spotted this blinking Day-Glo Santa in a hardware store. Star-shaped lights smothered every wall (and maybe the ceiling too). In the corner leaned a plastic tree that spun in slow motion, like a cake on a rack. Couldn't they decorate after Turkey Day? At least then, I'll know when to dig out a sweater.
