I have it! Today I got an email from mycokerewards, in which I was asked how I plan on celebrating my holidays: Visiting with family Shop 'til I drop Escaping to sand or snow Catching bowl games Making holiday music CDs Waiting in line for the hottest new video game Watching the Coca-Cola Polar Bear commercials Yup, there it is right there. What do I win? Just for a little perspective, it’s still approaching 100 degrees during the day here. By the year 2027, we will be celebrating Christmas all year long, I predict. ---

Um, I regret to say that I saw Christmas-themed displays in London, before I left there on the 10th of October; it must have been around the 5th or 6th. I was pretty flabbergasted. ---

[/QUOTE] Wow, it is only September here in the States. I knew there was a time difference, but I didn’t know how big it was! What date is it in London now? 🙂 ---

They have had rows of Christmas ornaments/decorations up at Hobby Lobby now for about a month. It’s waaaay too early!! ---

Launchcast keeps trying to play Christmas music. It pisses me off. I’ve convinced my mom I’m a Scrooge - I don’t think there should be anything Christmas until the last day of November (well, Christmas decorations could be for sale in mid-Nov) and it all needs to disappear the first week of January. ---

I’m not thinking straight! Don’t hold me responsible for my actions! :smack: I mean September, of course. And that just makes it worse.
