It’s never out of season if the greeting card makers and everyone else who wants to commercialize everything has their way. (What’s next? New holiday decorations for various times of the year!)

Happy commercialization-free holidays to all. I was happy simply to zip up to Madison (hotbed home of real, live radicals) and play Santa mainly for a relative, but also for myself (even got a book by a lefty on the [liberally defined] radical right), and made it back to Iowa through the snowstorm (would have made the Postal Service proud).
