The holidays are too early.

From Halloween to New Years, it seems like there's this big crush of activity. We start preparing for the holidays, we plan family visits, we go to parties, we buy gifts, we send cards, blah blah blah.

Its all good, but...its too soon!

Most holidays are based on the Winter solstice and the vernal equanox. But, at least in this climate...the solstice just marks the beginning of winter. Sure the days get longer, but the weather gets nastier. I wish Christmas was at the end of January or early February. I'd rather have a big celebraion that breaks winter up a bit. ;)
