Was in Wal*mart today and was shocked to see xmas tree's up, xmas music playing and the staff wearing xmas hats! Xmas has been very commercial for a long time as we all know but is it getting too much? Its only Nov 15th and it is already being shoved down our throats, I mean what about thanksgiving? This will be my 3rd thanksgiving and you hardly even hear about it!
Growing up I used to get excited on Dec 1st seeing all the decorations being put up and hyas it got closer you used to get that nice warm feeling inside knowing xmas was just around the cornor. Nowdays they start so early that by the time xmas actually comes I just want it to be over with and all the good spirt and magic of xmas is lost. I was brought up a catholic and I have to say its very odd for me that there is not even a sign in the stores that it is a relgious holiday just full of tacky snowmen and cheap toys.
Ha, I seen some of that stuff going on before Halloween. Big Lots, Walmart and a couple of other stores down here were putting out Christmas stuff in early October. But most of our holidays anymore have nothing to do with what was intended, they are used to sell people stuff. Memorial day sales, Columbus day sales, Veterans day sales, black friday, cyber monday, Christmas sales, 4th of July sales and on and on and on. Well up theirs.
