Christmas keeps comming a little earlier each year
I grew accustomed to the stores being in full Christmas mode the day after Thanksgiving. I am struggling with the stores being in full Christmas mode the day after Halloween. I was completely unprepaired for the stores being in full Christmas mode the week before Halloween.
Oddly I have less trouble with folks decorating their houses for Christmas on Thanksgiving day. I still struggle with the folks who decorate their houses for Christmas the day after Halloween where they unload one color light and put up another. Down with the orange, up with the red and green. This was going on over on Hicone road and all I could do was stare in disbelief. Smashed pumpkins on the highway, Santa on the lawn. Now it all sounds like a John Meloncamp song.
Don't mistake me, I am all for the season of giving attitude lasting all year. I just wonder how often these folks have to replace the bulbs in their lights. Not to mention how the season of giving is giving them an outrageous power bill. More power to them, I say, at least they aren't beign somber.
