Oh Phil!

You're just like a couple of friends of mine who gave me early gifts.  Last 
fall, I'm not sure if it was before Thanksgiving, or not too soon after, one 
of them came in during group time and said to me, in her rather high 
pitched, quavery voice, "Merry Christmas!"  She presented me with some 
winter wear, I don't remember what all, maybe a scarf and a hat and/or 
mittens.  the fact is, she gave me such winter wear the year before!

Then this month, another friend gave me a bag of yummy, crunchy Hershey 
bars, I don't remember exactly what they're called, for my early birthday 
present.  wait a minute!  My birthday isn't until July 25th!
