How could anyone miss all this Christmas hullaballoo? It's everywhere! I have definitely noticed over the past few years how Christmas advertisements and such have been creeping up earlier and earlier on the calendar. I agree with you completely, it is ridiculous. And like you, I love Christmas and all the traditions and things but I like it in december... around christmas time! Not in november around Thanksgiving and certaintly not around Halloween.By doing all this so early I feel that it actually takes a lot away from Christmas and the season. Let each holiday stay in its perspective month and not advertise it any earlier than that actual month.
It is also completely sending out the wrong message as to what Christmas is all about. It is not about all the shopping and money the stores make. What do we teach our children and young ones about the holiday? That it is about giving and not just receiving, about being with family, and having traditions and such. All this early advertisement is steering everyone away from the real meaning of Christmas. And yeah, if you don't celebrate Christmas, talk about feeling left out. Jeez!
