CANDLELIT CHRONICLES: HISTORIC HAUNTS

Addendum/Correction to Entry 12/26

I wrote:

my dismay that the Joys of the Season never manage to extend beyond Dec. 26, nor to begin before, say Oct. 31 of the following year.





I meant:


Why is it that every year between oh, Nov. 1 or so, and New Year's Day, most of us are bundles of joy, spreading cheer and kindness and compassion, wishing everyone the Greetings of the Season--and the rest of the year we all (or most of us) reprise Scrooge?





It's kind of hypocritical to only be loving and generous during the Giving Season, don't you think? If we are put here on this planet for any reason, at least part of it must be to be kind to each other--to the animal kingdom--and to the planet.





Okay, I now dismount from soapbox until tomorrow.
