It’s Already Here…
It’s Already Here…
By now you know it is coming.
It might have attacked you at one of the local stores while you were browsing or it may have held you captive while listening to the radio in your car or on your television screen while watching the game.
Christmas is here and here to stay till the end of next month and although I can ‘Jingle’ with the best of them I cannot help but long for the days when Christmas cheer started the day after Thanksgiving and not the day after Halloween.
Now, I’m not being a Grinch here as I have heard many a person make the same complaint.
Maybe it is caused by nostalgia for a simpler time or I am just tired of having ‘buy, buy, buy’ screamed at me from every angle from November first till the end of the year.
I realize the Christmas shopping season is a big part of our yearly national economy and that the free and open market is a big part of the American way but when it becomes too much it becomes nauseating and might be showing people the wrong way to look at this holiday.
It is not all that surprising that some may find the Christmas sales barrage too much to handle as every Black Friday we hear tales of trampling and beatings over a deal on a flat screen or even more infamously a Tickle Me Elmo or a Furby, whatever that may be.
