My yearly "buy nothing" month begins now.

I am not exactly a Scrooge - I like giving presents and I have after all re-published the Three Log Night 'Uncommon Music for the Holiday Season' mostly Christmas songbook a Christmas songbook and did many "Solstice Extravaganza" shows full of Christmas music...

... but I have taken to retiring from the world about now and waiting until January for things to look up again. Not that I'm not planning to have some fun, but it's going to be contrarian fun. If you're interested, you can visit my plan for how to avoid Christmas.
