Yeah, it's really annoying and it is my holiday (so to speak.)
I am quite annoyed that the stores had holiday decorations up before Halloween. I wonder every year why I have no holiday spirit left by Christmas. It's because I have used it all up and just want it to be done with. ComeChristmas and I'm just sick of all the commercialization. It's easy to have holiday spirit for the four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. But beyond that it's really hard to keep it up. If I'm supposed to start having holiday spirit before Halloween, by Thanksgiving, I'm done. I just want it over.
I don't put my holiday decorations up (yes, I have a tree) until two weeks before December 25th, and I take it down in the week between Christmas and New Years. I start the New Year with no signs of Christmas in my house. The neighbors next door had their tree up and lit when we got home last night. Yeeps. too early, way too early.
This year, we plan to have our shopping done in the next week and we will not set foot in another store or mall (other than grocery stores)until after New Years. Maybe I'll be able to have some spirit left over for the actual holiday this year.
