Hey All,
I really fell down on the job this year with this blog. Sorry about that. Just after my last post, I had to suddenly go up North to take care of my folks, was there for about a week...
Then my appendix exploded.
It's taken me a surprisingly long time to heal. You just don't realize how much of your stomach muscles and such you use constantly.
So, this is the last post for the 2007 Season. Check back in September 2008! Of course, probably August or GASP July!!!
blog about the over-commercialization of the Christmas/Yule/Solistice holidays in the US and other parts of the world... in other words, me ranting about being exposed to it for fully 25% of my life... and how these holidays are losing their true meanings as we become desensitized to them...

OK, shopping may now begin
I was poking around the Amazon.com site this morning, updating my wishlist, and found the following funny:

I took SHG to the eye doctor Monday. I saw this cute little guy there:
And this pretty tree:
But here is the problem: It was November 19, a full three days before our EARLY THANKSGIVING!!!

Huh?
So we all know what Black Friday is. Good. No worries on that.
But Cyber Monday? I first thought it was when guys spend the day surfing for porn in peace after being drug all over God's creation to shop over the days before.

Oh this is ridiculous
From YOY:
Santas in Sydney, Australia have been told not to use Father Christmas's traditional "ho ho ho" greeting because it may be offensive to women. Sydney's Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say "ha ha ha" instead.

as usual, just a little early
Today I saw the first Christmas decorations of the season. Ooops, sorry, Holiday decorations. Over at some-thing-or-another plaza-square-trace at BW8 & Memorial. Highland Village? Whee. I was driving and did not have a chance to snap a pic, so you will have to take my word for it.
This is a FULL 10 days before Halloween. HELLO???

First sighting of Christmas!! YAY!!!
Thanks to SHG for the First Sighting of Christmas at Kroger!!
Only 2 1/2 more months of it!! I am so glad that Halloween is not eclipsing Christmas, but I still do not understand why they do not put Christmas stuff out first?

As always, a little too soon
It is definitely too early for Christmas music. At least for listening to it.
