Amaryllis for Christmas
…or not….
This quandry points up my entire ambivalence about the “process” of the holiday season. In order to have amaryllis in bloom at Christmas, I have to buy the bulb packages at least in early November. Now, retailers of course put out Christmas stuff beginning on All Hallows (well, okay – halfway through October any more….) but I simply am not going to “see” Christmas preparations until the first of December.
This means that I must consciously think to look for amaryllis a month before I normally start Christmas-ing. *sigh* I don’t want to do it. Christmas belongs in December.
Except for amaryllis….
