It's beginning to look a lot..like...Christmas?!

Every year, year after year, stores cheerfully deck the halls in preparation for the Christmas holidays.
What's the problem?? It's not even Thanksgiving yet!!
Stores are turning Christmas into a two month celebration. On my way to school the other day I discovered radio stations that are already playing holiday music 24/7. Stores already began displaying Christmas products and what not before it was even Halloween. Once Halloween was over, it hit the fan. I'm pretty sure Santa's elves threw up everywhere in the local mall. It seems like stores are prepping for Christmas earlier and earlier every year. Do not get me wrong: I think Jesus' birth is an event to be celebrated/recognized every day of the year. My main concern is that by gearing up for Christmas early, many people are overlooking another very important American holiday: Thanksgiving. Again, Don't get me wrong: recognizing and celebrating all that we have to be thankful for is something that should be done every day, not just one designated day a year. But it doesn't mean that we shouldn't embrace the day set aside for this celebration to be thankful.

However, as much as I don't care for the early start to Christmas advertising before Thanksgiving, every year I'm getting closer to the whole "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" concept. Don't worry I haven't gone to the dark side yet! Although, it's tempting more and more every year, just because....well, I mean what else can a girl do. Though, I am getting the feeling that many others are on the same page as me this year, agreeing that Christmas advertising and what not has begun waaay to early. So, ya never know, maybe we might see a change in how early we begin Christmas advertising.
But as for me, I will not be playing Christmas music until after Thanksgiving.

So, to all my readers: Happy November!!! I wish you all well and many blessings this wonderful autumn season :)
