This is countdown time. I know that Christmas is coming because I was in Michaels yesterday and Christmas was on sale. Lots of Christmas. Of course I did go into a retail store and that’s the key to Christmas countdowns in North America. It is a retail experience these days. In addition to retail, there is a movie countdown - brilliantly created by Hallmark. It generates one-third of the company’s total advertising revenue - over 4350 million. One article called it “Hollywood’s turkey factory.”
I can assume Europe offers a more traditional countdown to Christmas. The Advent Calendar started the countdown - and that is December 1st. That’s a Christian tradition starting the season of Advent. Typically their countdown starts with Christmas markets in mid to late November and then goes by the Advent calendar.
For those who like to jump into things, the Countdown season is here and the stores are prepared.
What do you think of these winter orchards? It was a few years ago with a severe frost and cold, so the leaves basically froze on the trees and didn’t turn colour.
