11/16 -- Stargazer Shoegazer

You're lucky.
I thought about diving into the Christmas music early.
My friend @Mr_McQwertyconvinced me otherwise.

 Very well, then. I shall save the Christmas joy until the day after Thanksgiving, just like all those wonderful big-box stores where we like to trample one another in order to buy more stuff we don't really need.

 Instead, I drew inspiration from the late, great Jack Horkheimer, host of the 'Stargazer' series that used to air on PBS at midnight just before they went off the air. He was such a nerd, and we all know I <3 nerds. Because of him, I know (almost) all the names of the stars in the night sky.
