The Day Before the Day Before

I noticed this year that there are names for the days leading up to Christmas and to New Years.  I don't remember hearing this expression so often before - 'the eve of Christmas Eve'. We're approaching 'the eve of New Year's Eve'.

There are a few celebrations to mark this day and make for more fun in the lead up to the New Year.  'Eve of the Eve 2016' is a Chicago fundraiser. Nokomis East in Minneapolis has a 'Night before New Year's Eve' party for the family.  Vancouver has an Annual Fake New Years Eve the night before "Nye".

Here's someone who has thought of these sorts of things.  William Powers writes: "...get through one more day 'n that'll lead to tomorrow and tomorrow's tomorrow like today's the day before yesterday's tomorrow's tomorrow and that was the day before the day the day before's tomorrow."


I usually wait till winter to process the wisteria pictures.  Then the the screen is an explosion of floral exuberance in contrast to the minimalist snowscape outside.  I got to a few this week, so can celebrate the Wisteria Collection as part of the year in review.
