Well it seems that All-Hallows Eve has come and gone and now its time for Christmas. RRRCCCHHH!! Oops I mean Thanksgiving! I can't help smirking at the fact that my awesome friend Melissa left a very discouraging message on my voice mail the other day. It seems that her neighbor has already put up her Christmas tree. UGGH! Melissa wants me to call her and take care of it. LOL I really think that it is a bit early for all the Christmas pomp, although I have to admit I LOVE CHRISTMAS!
I so look forward to all the lights and decorations, the music, the shopping, and all the hustle and bustle! However I can't help to wonder that if it was to start in November and last until January wouldn't it lose all its shine. I believe it would get old and by the time Christmas Day rolled around I would be ready to take down the tree. I understand the commercial reason for putting all the Christmas goods out so soon, MONEY!!! But what about us little people? Why do we have to succumb to the pressure? Well with this being said, I have to make a little confession, I have been secretly listening to Christmas music for the last week, I would never force that on anyone else though.(Except my kids of course) I also love browsing the Christmas section in wal-mart too. My little indulgence, it gets me giddish for when I can actually decorate my home and not be shunned for it. I guess this is a side effect from being born on Christmas Day! Oh well, such is life, but how dare they!
