okay, i am not a scrooge! in fact, i love all holidays (especially christmas) and i love to decorate for all holidays (especially christmas), but this is getting ridiculous!!
i know that i have been really busy lately, but did i somehow miss thanksgiving?! i'm pretty much used to the stores putting up decorations early - although they started even earlier this year (before halloween)! the black friday deals are starting even before thanksgiving! one of my neighbors has hung christmas lights on his house already (and they are turned on)!! i have numerous friends that have already put up christmas trees and decorations!!! there is a radio station that is already playing non-stop christmas songs!!!! people, it's the middle of november!!!! there is another holiday that you are skipping right over - it's called thanksgiving! it's kind of an important holiday too because you are supposed to stop and think about all that you have to be thankful for. and i, for one, have a lot to be thankful for! i can't even find thanksgiving decorations at the store anymore - they went on clearance the day after halloween!
most of my friends that have already decorated said that it was because they would be out of town until thanksgiving. so what! there is no law that says that you have to put your tree up on thanksgiving weekend! yeah, it's convenient for most people because it is a four day weekend but i usually wait until december to put mine up anyway. (and you know that these will be the same people that take their decorations down on christmas day because they are sick of looking at it all)! one year i even put my tree up on christmas eve and took it down the day after christmas (we were moving). fifty years ago, everyone put there tree up on christmas eve. at this rate, it won't be long before people will start putting there christmas trees up on the 5th of july!
hell, maybe i'm the one in the wrong - maybe they cancelled thanksgiving this year and I didn't get the memo!!
