HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do understand, my friend. The Princess is quite the decorator! She insists on decorating for every holiday! I am surprised she did not do anything for Veteran's Day tomorrow!! HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!!

True enough...eat they must...they must also adorn their bathrooms with $4,000 shower curtains and $2,000 faucet fixtures...LMAO!!!
I dunno...I just think it's too much too soon...and it all seems to get pushed on us a few days earlier each and every new year. Is it any wonder we (by we, I mean me and my family) refuse to decorate for Christmas until mid-December?? I mean...by then, we're at least feeling more geared toward the holiday and are more prepared to set up for it!

Well Justin, I know what you mean. It is so sad that holidays are commercialized in such a way but hey, That's Capitalism!!! HA!!!! I too recall the days, long ago, when Christmas was a special time. Perhaps it does have to do with age? My grandsons certainly are excited! Sadly, we are barraged by the endless attempts of merchandisers to seperate our dollars from our wallets. I suppose there is no getting around it. They have to eat too!

What's shakin' DF? MG...et, al...I got me a rant...gotta get it out there...and it's one you all have made once or a few dozen times throughout your lives...as I have...but I'ma make it known here...right now....grab a seat...'cuz here goes...
...can someone tell me please just WHAT THE HELL is wrong with all these got-damn retailers out there pushing Christmas since BEFORE Halloween!!?? I mean..MY GOD...my wife and I were milling about early Halloween morning picking up a few odds and ends; as well as making sure we had enough candy for the trick-or-treaters. We go into one of SEVERAL 'Dollar Stores,' and what are we inundated with once we get inside?? CHRISTMAS STUFF!!! You got it! Decorations, knick-knacks, garlands, figurines, and everything else under the sun!!! All the Halloween stuff was relegated to one half-wall display (arguably since the holiday itself would be over by the end of the business day as far as they were concerned!)...and we're looking around just shakin' our feckin' heads like, 'Can you believe this shit....Halloween's just today, and Thanksgiving isn't come and gone yet!!!'
Look...I know Christmas has become this overly-syndicated holiday, and I know most of the push is to try and incite consumers to start spending...but Jesus..is it ANY wonder that people have been dreading this holiday over the last 20 years or so?? I mean, I'm hearing Christmas holiday songs in WAL-MART already!!! What the hell!!? By the time my birthday comes and goes (Dec. 14th), I don't wanna hear another Christmas carol or any other holiday oriented song for ANOTHER year!!!
It doesn't surprise me that this holiday has become so commercialized...it's been that way since I was a kid...but as I get closer and closer to my 40th year of living (which will be realized in '09), I've begun to realize the very cynicism my own parents had exhibited as each Christmas came and went...it's overkill...pure and simple, and it's taken the piss out of a holiday I once enjoyed. The only saving grace is seeing the joy and anticipation on the faces of my daughters; who, now 14 and 12, are seeing the holidays a bit differently than they did several years ago, but they're still innocent enough (thank Christ!!!) to enjoy it for what it is.
I know it's not just me...but how many of you out there have begun to really tire of getting beaten about the head and neck when it comes to various holidays that have begun to lose all meaning courtesy of all the commercialism and media attention?? I mean...thank God 'Crazy Eddie' is no longer the consumer inviting entity it used to be...'cuz those summamabitches used to run that "Crazy Eddie's Christmas in August" ads way back when...and even as a pre-teen, I'd shudder a little...'cuz the shit just didn't seem right...

Well, schools are closed here today AND tomorrow (Veteran's Day tomorrow) so we have the "joy" of a bazillion kids running loose in the neighborhood today while their parents are working. Monday truly does "suck"....
