Thanks to my friend Steven for posting
this fanciful, dichotomous depiction of the ever - changing holiday calendar! |
Thanks to Professor Brigit Farley, who writes:
"This is one of my favorite Slavic words, "Listopad" -- it means 'autumn,' and it describes what happens in autumn. List=leaf, and pad=fall. It's Leaf fall -- at least in some of the Slavic languages." |
I'm a bit late putting away Halloween this year, but that's okay. As the above graphics illustrate, there's no harm in stretching these things out. Sometimes it's a lengthy transition.
When I finally cleared the dining room of all the autumn decor, little Ellie took one look and said:
over the past couple of months,
by day and by night . . . Never fear, little one!
Advent candles and calendars will soon appear!
