Quick, why does Halloween = Christmas?

OCT 31 = DEC 25

You get some kind of award if you can post, in the comments, correctly the first time, why that is.

Anyway...

I'd recall the year in rapid, vapid outline form, but that doesn't seem to be a fun thing to do.

Suffice to say this year did not happen like I expected it to.

And that's fine. I am, overall, pretty happy with how it has turned out.

We just got back from visiting family in St. Louis. We had a good time. Now we've got shopping, hanging out with friends and family today, not much tomorrow, and then, I go back. I've been rather busy this Christmas, so I haven't really given going back a lot of thought, but when I do think of it, I'm excited. I think that's a good thing.

As for next year?

It's full of... stars.
