The Holidays (Groan!) Are Upon Us!

:smack:
WEll, its started again…the “holiday season”. Really, now it starts long before Halloween…but now its really annoying! The local ads for the “NUTCRACKER” ballet have started…man this drives me nuts. Who in their right minds wants to inflict this agony on their kids? And the old bat doing the ad…“make sure your holidays include at least ONE magic night”! Bleechh…I’d rather get a root canal than suffer through this.
And of course the endless round of department store phoney “pre season”“sales”…run out and buy your presents now! Heck, I haven’t even bought a turkey fopr Thanksgiving yet! At the rate time is speeding up, I expect to see the Valentine’s Day candy on sale by late December!
But, it ain’t really Christmas…untill you jear those stupid dogs barking “Jingle Bells” on AM radio! :eek:

For me, it ain’t Christmas til I hear “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer.” :smiley:

I hear ya on this “Holidays” stuff. It gets earlier every year so it seems and people just get stupid. My boss refers to em as “The Horror Days” and I am getting more and more inclined to agree with her. She has this pin she wears that says “Bah! Humbug!” I love it! She also has a sign she puts on her door for Halloween that says “The Witch Is ___” with a little wooden “In” or “Out” sign she slides into the ___. Hilarious!

I love Thanksgiving and Christmas. I hate all the hype. GRRRRRR… “The Horror Days” are overcoming us.

I work near a mall.

I don’t think I need to say anything else.

I freaking can’t stand Christmas. I like December 25th just fine, and I can even handle December 24th, but that’s it.

I know it’s the largest shopping season and blah blah blah, but it feels rammed down my throat. I’m going to stab someone at the mall with a candy cane that’s been sucked down into a needle like point.

There is just too much Christmas out there for me.
