It’s the early instant holiday barrage that makes me sick of the whole thing by the middle of December.
Exactly! I don’t want to be sick of Christmas by the middle of December. I want Christmas to be special, not something you get sick of!

A house down the street has had Christmas lights going since Tuesday.when the owner is gone, you should go down there, remove the lights and leave them in a heap on their front lawn and leave a note telling them they are putting the lights up too early. Tell them to put up some thanksgiving decorations instead.
That’s crossing the line. The house in question is on the property of an orchid farm to begin with.
yeah I know, I wasn’t really being serious. But it is tempting to do to those that put up Christmas lights too early.

Was tortured by Christmas music in a restaurant tonight. It’s going to be one of those seasons, I can tell.Christmas music in restaurant on Nov 2nd??? That is insane. I would have complained to the manager.
Trick or treat traffic can be nonexistent around here some years, leaving me with a lot of candy I’m not going to eat. Local kids starting getting surly and downright rude around 2008, and that kind of soured the whole thing for me. If most of my friends weren’t so far away, I’d gladly join them in their activities. One turns their house into an effects laden spooky walkthough every year.
As for the restaurant, it’s probably satellite radio or something similar to the music channel on my cable tv. There was so much background chatter, I didn’t even hear it until halfway through my meal.
Anyway, they were so nice about offering me a free appetizer after screwing up my pizza order and making me wait a bit longer for it, I was in no mood to complain. 😃
