The end of Daylight Savings Time always feels like the beginning of the holiday season to me, and not just because that's when the Christmas sales start. I know there are many out there who feel it does not actually start until the day after Thanksgiving, and if "holiday" is a euphemism for "Christmas" that sounds about right. While secular Christmas certainly takes center stage this time of year (whether we like it or not) there's actually a lot of stuff going on in the winter.
