Already? - posted at 10:38
This year, as always, I would like to register my displeasure at the earliness that Christmas merchandise and decorations are appearing. We do not need to celebrate Christmas for 1/6th of the year. That is all.Marissa commented:
Thank you!
I was very, very confused at my PX when they had Christmas set out right next to Halloween. My brain wanted to exploded because never before had it been forced to see the two of those holidays forced together. (Outside of Nightmare Before Christmas of course)
Jitterbean Girl commented:
That's just gratuitous. And offensive. I noticed at our commissary that there was no break whatsoever in between Halloween and Christmas candy. It's disgusting. No wonder Americans are so fat: we never get a break from Special Occasions.
