Stop the Madness

"How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is on television right now.
The cable company's music channels have started playing Christmas music.
I won't tell you what's happening in the stores, because I don't really have to, do I?

I haven't even thought about a turkey yet, and the Grinch is on? Every year I feel less and less inclined to even celebrate the holiday (outside of actually spending time with family and friends) because it's shoved down my throat so early.

I also said that b/c it gets started so early, by the time it's here everyone just wants it over. What happened to savoring a moment when it comes?

This is pretty much it--there's just too much of it and then it gets here and it's just sort of 'eh?'

I'm surprised that you saw Christmas lights out this early, though; I usually only expect to see those after Thanksgiving. I'll have to keep an eye out...
