It happened again! Christmas fanatics have outdone themselves, just like last year. And once again, I've lost the Christmas spirit before the season has even begun! Listen, I get the fact that it might be your favorite holiday. But when was it ever appropriate to celebrate a holiday for 3 months straight??? I know for a fact I'm not the only one who thinks people start decorating for Christmas WAY TOO EARLY. Not only do I have to put blinders on when I go shopping, and avoid certain radio stations. I have to completely avoid State Street in Murray thanks to whichever local government officials think it's time to line the road with bright red and green Christmas lights.
What happened to the brown, yellow, and orange that's synonymous with November? Do these people even remember the point of Thanksgiving?
The big excuse someone gave me this year was "Thanksgiving - what better time to be grateful for Christ's birth?" My response to that is this: What does an 8-foot tall evergreen in your living room have to do with Christ's birth, anyways?
So until next year, Bah Humbug!

Geez, jerkface.

I actually got bamboozled by my very own ipod today at the gym - I added all of my Sinatra songs and, well, apparently there was a Christmas song...boy oh boy....I was singing along in my head before I knew what hit me. Sneaky little son of a gun...
I promptly hit the "next" button.
I think a November party is order. It's a time when we make an art project with fall leaves, drink cider, and cinnamon rolls.
Those bright red and green lights on the street are STOP LIGHTS, jon... they are up all year. :)
hee hee
@Larissa - I'm glad you hit "next."
@Chism - Agreed!
@Singletonmd - I don't care what kind of lights they are. I hate em!!!
No one can force you to feel this way. Your agency is still in tact - therefore, you can still have the Christmas Spirit. I think you're just looking for reasons to not like Christmas...and have happiness in your heart at anytime of the year.
:0)
@Julie - I didn't ever say I don't like Christmas. My point is that too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. Have you ever eaten so much junk food that the mere sight of anymore makes your stomach feel sick? Well I can only stomach 4 weeks of Christmas per year - which is still a LOT, considering that's longer than most people spend celebrating ANY other holiday. Thankfully, I don't need Christmas to have an excuse to be happy and spend quality time with others.
Do you really need my input??
Let me just say this for your little entrepreneur spirit-
Write lots of popular Thanksgiving songs for the stars to sing and there'll be some other holiday for the radio to fill your brain with. Until then- Christmas is the vocal money maker.
that's very nice work done,
