Not even Thanksgiving yet!
I stopped by the grocery store today and was astonished to see cut Christmas trees already lining the sidewalk outside the store. The earliest I have seen trees for sale in the past (with the exception of fake trees) has been the day after Thanksgiving. We have two more days before the “official” start of the Christmas holiday.
And though I may be outraged the cut trees are starting to show up, when I took Da to the hospital on November 2nd, this was on the roof:
I absolutely couldn’t believe it. I know they have to get these up earlier than the lighting schedule (probably Thanksgiving night, or so) but still, on the 2nd?
I think the problem is more that I don’t feel it’s the holiday season. It just doesn’t feel like time to make/buy gifts or decorate. Usually I’m on it well before now, but I just don’t feel it. Maybe inundating myself with XM radio holiday stations will do it…
