Can I ask everyone to get rid of the carved pumpkins?

Just a simple request.

Geebus... Have these folks heard of the term "transition"?

It would seem there is no "war on Christmas", but merely a war BY Christmas on everything else and every other holiday...

(and yes, I do adore the lights and decorations of the season, but am darned determined to wait until Thanksgiving night before putting up and displaying my own--other's mileage clearly does vary)....
