Hi, Marian!

I certainly agree that Veteran’s day (the U.S. version of Remembrance Day) is incredibly important. My Grandfather fought in WWII and I’m proud of his dedication and efforts. In this post I didn’t mean to suggest that we start celebrating Christmas earlier, or that we ignore other holidays, just that we should try to find alternate uses for holiday decorations off-season. Hope that makes sense!

Thanks for your comment!
xx, Julia

Sincerely,Marian
