12: It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
Performed by Johnny Mathis
A follow-on thought from yesterday about an unseasonal Christmas season.
Signs of a seasonal festival start showing up at the wrong time of year. Not just how Christmas preparation starts earlier and earlier in stores (and Black Friday now apparently extends from All Saints’ Day to Christmas Eve) but people decorating overnight despite it being, say, March. What is happening? Is time going screwy?
Time slips are common sorta-scientific explanations for ghostly apparitions and a way to do one time travel story without it becoming a feature of a series format, but one time spilling out into another is less common. (I borrowed a Dead Of Night moment for The Watch House with the 1880s leaking out of a haunted mirror, and took it a lot further as it could spread and overwrite the present.)
