hasn't even arrived yet, and already TV commercials are pushing Christmas shit, Christmas carols turned into advertising jingles, and now my neighbor (and others) have their Christmas decorations up and running... ... ... Maybe I'll put out my Vallentines Day shit ... . . .

It's because no one make any money off Thanksgiving. So it gets over looked now while christmas creeps closer and closer to over-taking labor day. They started selling fake christmas trees the last week of september in lowes. I was walking in to get some stuff for this wonderful hobby and as I lifted my head I was greeted with all the trees and preliminary decorations. Instantly my mood changed and I had a flash thought of burning it all down. Christmas is the worst holiday

The commercials and advertisements start earlier and earlier every year.
Pretty soon, we will be in March, and they will start advertising it.

We had Christmas and Halloween things out together. I hate how commercialized holidays are. That makes me hate Christmas.
-------------------- People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're really seeking. I think what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.

vinsue, I completely agree.
I had to hit the mall yesterday, for some jeans.
They already have bell ringers for the Salvation Army. 
Christmas music everywhere, even Santa'a display up.

As silly as it seems, i think Valentine's day is up there with suicide.
I don't particularly like Christmas, or any holiday really for that matter. I think they're portrayed pretty shallow by the media and it's bothersome.
Noticed you're back alex, make sure you stick around. Myk

i just leave a pumpkin out year round dressed up like Santa holding a carrot and some eggs, then i just bury my head in front of it for valentines day. it seems to capture the moment for most holidays in a weird way
