We're sooooooooo jealous -- we're not getting to DV until February -- tried to make it for New Years, but can't, so doing NY's in Everglades instead - my favorite camping in all of USA = Death Valley - but will have to settle for it on Valentine's Day this time, and bring a nice dinner for my one and only Heart-throb :) :) ! And, even cook it myself.
I know, just like the rest, start a future holiday (Valentine's Day) before the present holiday ends ... Like stores starting Xmas before Turkey Day ends every year lately.
So, we're just keeping up with the times - getting the Hearts out before we take down the Evergreens! Kinda neat tho, makes life one continuous holiday with a few work days slipped in between so we can pay truck payment. :):):)
