The other day I asked Brenda, "Did you enjoy the extra time off?" since she left work several hours before the rest of us because she was called in early the night before.
She said, "Yes, I was able to put my Christmas decorations up."
"Wow," I replied, "Three hundred forty-three days 'til Christmas and you've started decorating already! Do you have your Christmas shopping done too?"
"NO," was her slightly embarrassed answer, "you know what I meant."
"You mean you took your decorations DOWN and packed them AWAY?" I teased.
"Yes," she laughed.
