I like Christmas. I really do.  But I like Christmas in December. Not July or August. December is supposed to be Christmas so why is it that every year it comes earlier and earlier?? It used to be the official launch of Christmas was Thanksgiving/Black Friday. I remember watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and the big deal of the parade, besides the balloons, is the fact that the parade brings in Santa Claus!! To me, that meant the holiday season is here. But it was back in early August I began to see Christmas stuff in the stores. And now, Christmas music is being shoved down my through. I am already hearing jingle bells and soon I know I will be acosted at every store I go into by the Salavation Army and the bells they clang constantly!! So now, all this, is making me start to feel bitter about Christmas. By the time it comes I am sick of it already. It's also kind of how I feel about football season. Oh well.
