As I was watching TV today, I saw a Christmas commercial for the first time this year. Then as I was driving around town, I saw a sign on a store that said something like, "Christmas trees are now available, $49.99 and up." It amazes me how the Christmas season starts so early now. I remember back in the day when you didn't see or hear anything relating to Christmas until after Halloween was over. Now they start earlier and earlier it seems.

Christmas and snow? Next you'll remind us the dishes are not done and that it's almost time to go to the dentist.

i work retail management..so i'll been looking at santa claus figurines, snowmen and let it snow signs since early july. our store plays christmas music starting the day after HALLOWEEN. of course, it's still fucking 75 degrees here in maryland, so this shit is really getting on my nerves already

yes, because in our society it is about the almighy $ Dollar $ ... and drifting even futher from the true meaning of the Yule season with each decade, it seems ...

Nah, I'm not like that. Just commenting on how the Christmas season is thrust upon us earlier and earlier each year, it seems.

That would get on my nerves too.

I'm with ya on that. Christmas has become waaaay too commercialized, so much so that the true meaning of the holiday season is lost.

I believe it, the long line of people you have to wait on, people being rude and impatient with you. It would not be a lot of fun, that's for darn sure.
