Holiday Elimination? - 11-22-02
permalink
Is it just me or when Labor Day comes around, they ALREADY start advertising with Xmas items? And it isn't subtle, either...they JAM it down our throats until the 'big day', in which, December 26, they have post-Xmas sales.

How sick is that? What happened to the other holidays? I mean sure, Labor Day is no big deal, Veterans Day isn't either, but things like Halloween and Thanksgiving (for us Americans...call us sentimental turkey-eating-watching-the-football-game-sleeping-off-the-food lazy bastards) still exist, and don't we have the right to celebrate these things before they're PERMANENTLY taken away by massive corporate greed?

(and yes, I haven't started my Xmas shopping yet. Bleh.)

Opinions, please!

Where I work they have crimbo decorations up. Im trying to avoid the shopping but today I got crepe paper and crescent moon sequins so I guess I have succumbed

A golden energy
Was rising out of my head
I shed my evil skin
And found myself again

I was wrong, I don't mind
The impossible seems possible
This time I'm an electric wire
If the sun can radiate then so can I

Four versions?

Aren't you the folks that have the girl of the house make a wreath with candles in it, make pastries, light the candles and welcome the family with it? I find that charming...

And I only celebrate the commercial end to Christmas...Yule is the religious end for me.
