You know it’s that time of year when

You know it's that time of year when ...

• the temperature drops twenty five degrees over night
• you have to defrost the morning paper to read it
• you get a dozen offers in your e-mail box to receive personalized letter from Santa
• the neighbors deck their houses with blinking red, green, white, and blue lights
• you can't face another day of leftover turkey
• the cat sleeps on your head all night and won't move in the morning
• you are thankful it didn't snow you in last night
• winter birds huddle in your garage waiting for sunrise
• you remember summer's 110 degrees fondly
