You start seeing those Chia Pet commercials. :smack: Or the clapper…
You know it’s really Christmas when…
Scary people are ringing the bells outside of Wally*World.
Did someone kill Santa Claus??
Even scarier people are actually dressed as Santa. [shudder]
…it’s not even Halloween yet and you’re seeing Santa.
Seriously. I went to get Halloween candy around the 21st and there were already aisles of Christmas stuff in the store. One holiday per month, please.
When my son shovels snow without being asked, and my daughter volunteers to do dishes.
I don’t really feel like it’s Christmas until I hear Snoopy’s Christmas from The Royal Guardsmen on the radio.
Somehow it doesn’t seem like Christ’s birthday until I hear the phrase “Interest-free financing and no payments for 6 months.”
Your friend’s parente let you and your friend build a gingerbread house.
-Your neighbor switches on the Christmas lights that he’s LEFT IN PLACE SINCE LAST CHRISTMAS!
-You begin to see phony “Santa-stuck-in-the-chimney-with-his-legs-sticking-out” decorations of rooftops.

…the new person at work asks why we don’t do christmas gifts at work and gets told, because it’s stupid and a waste of money. Spend it on the kids, family, dog, etc.
…you go to the mall and hear such seasonal goodies as “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”, “Winter Wonderland”, “Jingle Bells” and other such snow songs in freakin’ SOUTH GEORGIA USA which we all know is the SNOW CAPITOL OF THE UNIVERSE. :rolleyes:
**A: You see Mommy kissing Santa Claus.
B: The neighborhood residents start taking down their Xmas decorations and stores offer Valentine’s Day candy!**
You know it’s really Christmas when…
There’s one guy in every shopping mall parking lot who asks people (all day long) for “eighty five cents for busfare” to get home. By the end of the day he’s got enough for a round trip ticket to Millwaukee!
…the dread and joy of seeing family and loved ones is unbearable
