I understand that the christmas-time holiday shopping is big for retailers and the like, however... a tree lighting ceremony.. BEFORE Thanksgiving?? A week before??

Stores start getting ready for Christmas in September these days. Id call the airing of "A Christmas Story" on the day after Halloween late.

I get weirded out shopping for Halloween costumes in the aisle next to the [DEL]Christmas[/DEL] X-mas decorations.

Greg Easterbrook (Tuesday Morning Quarterback) has been talking about this for years and calls it "Christmas Creep".

Dear Santa, you are supposed to show up at The Thanksgiving Day Parade to let everybody know things are cool and you will be back in a month. It's too weird seeing you this freakin' early. I love Christmas but after a long while, even the most pleasureable things can make you sore.

Out Christmas tree is up already.

But that is just because we never got around to taking it down last year

That's nothin. One week in July this past summer, they ran Christmas movies on TV!

Which reminds me, I need to put the tree and lights up when I come home for Thanksgiving.
