There are at least 2 houses on my street that have Christmas lights up.
It's the beginning of December people.
And, in the Christmas spirit, a plethora of houses in my subdivision literally exploded into decoration (like popcorn) the day after Thanksgiving.
Merry Christmas.
Daily, I see cars with trees attached to their rooftops. The trees are prey shot in the hunt and brought back as trophy. I laugh to myself knowing that those trees will most likely be dead by Christmas. Needles everywhere.
How long does a cut tree last anyway? Don't answer that.
I absolutely HATE the commercialism of Christmas.
I hate it.
I hate it that people put up Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving.
I hate it that I have to hear commercials advertising the "After Thanksgiving Sale" 4 days prior.
I hate it that I will hear the "After Christmas" sales commercials on December 15th.
Not only do I hate... I refuse.
I refuse to get up at 4 am the day after Thanksgiving just so I can save 25%.
(Okay, I did this once. It was a mad house I tell you).
I refuse to be pressured to put my tree up any sooner than the second weekend in December.
I refuse to be told what decorations I can display on the outer regions of my house. I hear some subdivisions REQUIRE that you decorate with only white lights.
Merry Christmas.

Good morning to you, too, Scrooge!

I have to admit, we're guilty. We got our tree on Sunday and put up our lights. There aren't many houses along here with lights yet, but we didn't go crazy - just some nice icicle ones across the front of the garage and the front porch - and some colored ones in the bushes. Frosty's out on the lawn deflated until we can figure out how to get some power to him, and Santa's still in the box until I can fix his fly.
The after-Thanksgiving thing seems a bit much this year, since Thanksgiving was so early!!!
