What happened to the Christmastime that I love? Now that the calendar has flipped to November, the holiday season is officially upon us. It still might seem a little early to celebrate Christmas, but try telling that to all of the retailers that have had their Santa stuff out since late September.

That is unless you are reading this from a place like Florida, where the cold weather months won’t really affect your commute.
