Happy Halloween; now go buy your Christmas tree, some lights, and a whole butt-load of tinsel. People have completely skipped selling Thanksgiving stuff and are already forcing Christmas merchandise on people. This really wouldn’t be so bad, except for the fact that people are STILL selling Thanksgiving stuff. You’d think that they could at least wait until the turkey is in the refrigerator, but, no, we live in a capitalistic society, where you should be able to buy any damned thing you want whenever you want. By God, if people want to sell Christmas stuff two months early, that’s their god given, commercialized, underpaid and over-hyped right!

Don’t get me wrong, I like Christmas stuff, but has the fun of putting up lights and decorating trees become another commercial gimmick? Personally, I have 2 sets of lights hanging in my room right now and am eagerly waiting for Egg Nog to go on sale again, but am I buying into the hype? NO! I’m not, I’m not rushing out and buying overly ornate plastic crap that will be thrown in the garage never to be seen again. I am not redecorating my entire house to match a holiday season that won’t be here for another month and a half. I’m buying some fashionable lights, a couple of decorations, and some Egg Nog. And I’ll be damned if I drive my yuppie butt out to a tree farm and buy a tree more than 2 weeks before Christmas. Wait people! WAIT! The trip is half the fun; don’t ruin the anticipatory enjoyment by running out and shopping early. Waste time and enjoy it, when the time is right.
