Shouldn't we actually use palms?

I have trouble believing it's December already because after few cold days and nights with temperatures below 0 when I woke up to frost covering everything we have once again short sleeve weather. It's been 20oC and it's too be even warmer in next few days. It's felt so weird when I went shopping yesterday and there were Christmas trees  and the smell reminded me of the holiday but I was standing there in a t-shirt. It just felt so out of place (time?). The fact that for me this is way too early - November just ended - most of those won't last another 3-4 weeks. I wondered about that and one of my German co-workers (in Germany like in Poland people get Christmas trees just before the holidays) that some people here get two trees - one now and another just before Christmas. I can also see the lights and trees visible in people's windows when I walk around and seeing people in shorts at the same time this weekend is just wrong. Of course, this winter, even though it haven't officially started yet, is already colder then the last one and a few warm days are normal around here. So, unlike last time when we went straight from autumn to spring and magnolias bloomed for Christmas this year might be actually be cold. Good I'm going home for Christmas this year and judging from recent forecasts for Warsaw I should even see snow during my stay. With typical Polish cloudy weather that shortens already very short days all the lights are so much more appealing.

And since I'm doing follow-ups this week here are some awesome comics reactions inspired by the recent bout of Fake Geek Girl by Meghan Danger and Jemma Salume. But you have to appreciate a publisher taking stand on the whole thing with the official DC merchandise with this Super Fake Nerd:
