Early Christmas Rant
Can we please celebrate one fucking holiday at a time? I like thanksgiving, I enjoy it. It's not Christmas phase I, it's its own stand-alone holiday. I want to see pilgrims and turkeys and strangely shaped gourds and weird colored corn. I want to eat too much and watch football. I want Thanksgiving! Christmas season starts DECEMBER 1. Not the day after thanksgiving, and certainly not the first week of November. A Lansing radio station has already switched over to 24-hour Christmas music.....it's a travesty! You know what I think the big problem is? (Stores don't make huge amounts of money on Thanksgiving like they do on Christmas? WRONG!) It's that we don't have any good thanksgiving songs. We need Thanksgiving carols. And songs for all the other holidays too. But for now at least, if we're not going to sing for Thanksgiving, let's at least acknowledge it exists. Let's show Thanksgiving some respect...keep Christmas in December!

Stacey's rule is that once Thanksgiving is over, she is all about Christmas. The worst "early Christmas offense" I've seen was at a local home & garden store. We went there over 4th of July weekend to buy an umbrella for our patio set. They had about 6-8 stacks at the front of the store that were cleared off. Attached to each one was a sign that read "Excuse us as we prepare our store for Christmas decorations". We were barely closer to the next Christmas than the previous!
