The following picture was taken on the 19th day of October, 2005. I am not making anything up, nor is this a doctored photograph. Indeed as you see, the city of Malden has seen fit to outfit its commuter parking structure with a giant wreath and bow to celebrate the Christmas season. How nice this would be had it appeared on November 27th or 20th or November anything other than October! I mean honestly! How can we be expected to have anyting close to the right perspective about the holidays with this kind of blatent disregard for the meaning of each.
