Is it just me or does it seem like everybody's trying to get Christmas over with before December 25th actually gets here?

They've been airing all of the holiday specials and movies in NOVEMBER..."A Charlie Brown Christmas" was on last week...much to the dismay of my kids who missed, it foolishly believing that it just MIGHT be on sometime around CHRISTMAS since that's what it's about. "White Christmas" with Danny Kaye and Der Bingle (and that adorable woman who Kaye ends up with at the end of the movie...the one that dances and has those great legs...Vera Ellen...schwing!) was on this past Saturday.

The stores have already declared their success or failure in the all-important Christmas sales department...they declared this in NOVEMBER...WalMart is already going into mourning because of a bad season and its DECEMBER 1ST.

Is there going to be anything left by the 25th or should we just plan to take it easy then and rest up from all of the Christmas stuff that we did in early December. How anti-climactic is this? Not to mention that they'll be putting the Christmas decorations in the stores around Labor Day next year...they (I am not exagerating) had it up before Halloween this year.

So skip the Christmas cards and just text message Seasons Greetings to your friends and family...

Best

.....Bah...Humbug!
