On an unwritten obligation

I was remiss in not writing a post lamenting the ever-earlier start to the Christmas shopping season. Today while doing some electronic housecleaning, I found a "note to self" in my PDA written on October 5th of this year after a visit to the local mall. It reads,

"Start working on lyrics to a song entitled,
"On the Eighty-First Day of Christmas"."

There, I have now fulfilled my obligation.
