In her latest blog, Linda Stolow Sterling discusses the getting-ahead-of-the-holidays trend -- where businesses and residents begin celebrating the next holiday before the current one has passed.

"Now don't get me wrong. I LOVE the holiday season....I love it from the day after Thanksgiving until the day after New Year's," Stolow Sterling writes. "That's more than a month and that's enough in my book."

Simply Sterling is a blog of local events and interests by Linda Stolow Sterling. A long-time Danville resident now living in San Ramon, Stolow Sterling is a former features writer, competitive Scrabble player and teacher, and grandmother of triplets.
