Merging Holidays

It's that strange time of year when you can drive or walk in any neighborhood and see outdoor decorations for three holidays at the same time.  So it was on my early-morning walk one recent Saturday when I encountered three houses in one block -- one decorated for Halloween, the next for Thanksgiving and the next for Christmas.  Then, a few blocks away, I discovered one house with a little bit of all three holidays in one:  jack-o-lanterns on the porch, pilgrim decals in the front windows, and Christmas ornaments tucked into evergreens in window boxes.   As Andy Williams used to sing, "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!"  Or make that, the most confusing.
