Someone must die. There's Christmas music outside on the speakers of the mall where I work.

That annoys me so much. Of course we all think things were less violent/bettter quality/more enjoyable/etc. when we were young. But on this I'm right. I remember when you put up Halloween decorations, took them down on November 1st, then put up turkeys and horns of plenty and leaves. After Thanksgiving, you put up Christmas decorations. That was the way it was, and the way it should be.

I am totally with you on this one!! What happened to drawing turkeys with your outlined hand and making pilgrim hats and cornucopias? OK, so we're not in grade school anymore, but still!

Since you can't capitalize on thanksgiving unless you're a grocery store, Christmas season basically starts now. It's kind of depressing.

[mommagoth]

Especially when I have to listen to that crap now every time I enter or leave work until the end of the year. :/

xmas music is not allowed until the day after thanksgiving. Santa comes on the float in the Macy's Thanksgiving parade on TUrkey Day and starting Christmas without him is just rude...

[mommagoth]

I'm nodding in total agreement!

[roguebitch]

Me too! I'm pretty punk rock, but I cling to that tradition like a damn limpet.

We passed a store the other day, and Hari went on a positive *tear* about how there shouldn't be Christmas decorations up when it wasn't even HalloWEEN, and what was wrong with them.

It was hilarious, and also shows that she's inherited the family talent for lambasting idiotic customs. I mean, I was agreeing with her the whole time!

LOL! It can be pretty funny when they start emulating you... until it's not. ;)
