In the beginning, there is orange and black foil. That foil is joined by yellow and red, with the black fading away. In what seems like an instant, the yellow and orange are things of the past and the red takes hold alongside glittering green and silver. All of these beautifully colored foils, they signify the enemy. They are the harbingers of what is, quite possibly, the most difficult time of year for me; the dreaded days between Halloween and Christmas.
