Crass Commercialization Of Christmas

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, but I didn't have anything interesting to rant about. That is, until now.

When did Christmas begin before Halloween? It seems stores are advertising for Christmas earlier and earlier every year. The K-Mart by me had Christmas trees and yard ornaments such as reindeer and santas for sale long before Halloween. Has a law been established that states every holiday officially begins 2 holidays earlier? Christmas begins at Halloween. Thanksgiving begins at Labor Day. Halloween begins at July 4th. And would this include the minor holidays such as Arbor Day, Sweetest Day and Presidents' Day? You know, the days that aren't national holidays?

And where does the time go? It seems like it was just 2 hours ago when I started watching the Lions/Titans football game here on Thanksgiving. Now I see the final score is 35-10. What? That's the halftime score? Holy crap! Did you know that the Lions did not sell out the Thanksgiving game by the official time of 12:30 PM on Monday? But since they had about 1,000 tickets left, the NFL gave them an extra 24 hours to sell out since there was a reasonable chance they could sell those tickets. Unfortunately, they sold those tickets and we're forced to watch the game instead of interesting infomercials.

Oh well, guess I'll have to suffer like the rest of the country. Enjoy your Thanksgiving noodles. I know I will.
