This afternoon we had our annual all-church Christmas caroling. I like singing Christmas carols, but it seems too early to be caroling.
But it seems that all seasons are being pushed so far ahead of schedule that we're always in the wrong season. Garden seed catalogs arrive in the mail on Jan. 2nd. Try to buy a winter coat in February and the stores are putting out swim suits. Winter catalogs and merchandise come out in August. Christmas decorations get put up before Thanksgiving.
I think it would sure be nice to just celebrate the times and seasons during the times and seasons.

I grabbed my gun, picked out a nice doe, and five minutes later I was field dressing meat for the winter. I was very thankful to be done hunting before the ice storm hit on Saturday.
