I am tired tired tired of the stealthy advancement of holiday decoration, holiday music and other signs of the season- it's getting earlier and earlier every year.
I was over at TownCenter on November 19th...
The Christmas decorations were up and they were piping the festive carols through the sound system at the promonade...
On NOVEMBER 19th.
Now, I enjoy the holiday season as much as the next guy, but please...
In a year or three we're going to start hearing the Deck the Halls and seeing the garland getting strung up just after the 4th of July.
This is really getting out of hand.
We anticipate it all year long...That waiting is what makes the Christmas season so special...
Retailers are stretching out the Sale Season as far as possible...
We have Halloween Sales, Post Halloween Sales, Fall Festival Sales, Pre-Thanksgiving Sales, Ready-For-Black-Friday Sales, Thanksgiving Day Sales, Black Friday, Day-After-Black-Friday Specials, then 3 weeks of Christmas Countdown Sales...
Enough already.
Wait until one holiday is over and done before decorating and promoting the next one...
No Thanksgiving promos until after Halloween.
And no Christmas music or decorations until December 1st.
Give it a rest already...
After more than four weeks of Jingle Bells I'll definitely ready for a Silent Night.

Tweaked the anti-spam settings a bit.
Let's see if this does the trick.
