It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

The time of year when everyone starts complaining when stores set up their Christmas displays when “it’s not even Halloween!”

To them I say…SO WHAT?!

Halloween doesn't matter much to me, and I love Thanksgiving so much because it’s the kickoff to Christmas, so you know what? Have at it, big box stores! Decorate for Christmas in late September. I’ll take all the Christmas I can get.

I agree, as well! Christmas is way better than Halloween anyway.

And I think it's funny that people complain about it so much. Although part of the reason stores start selling for Christmas is to get a jump on the season and make more money another part of it is they just don't have any other choice. Stores often have large areas of aisles set aside for "seasonal" items. If the store doesn't have enough of Halloween or Fall seasonal items to sell they have to fill the aisles with something and the next shopping holiday is Christmas. So it isn't all the commercialization of Christmas, but a necessity so there aren't completely blank aisles.

Please don't tell me you start doing the Christmas music way early...

Politicchic...actually, I am generally annoyed by most Christmas music. I can listen to it for about 20 minutes a day and only in December. I do have boundaries there.
