Stuff You Should Know

More then you ever wanted to know about... Me
Tuesday, 24 August 2004
It's the Philidephia experiment all over again.
Excuse me? Can you help me? Because I thought it was August. You know, still SUMER! But I seem to have gotten sucked into some sort of time warp, because today, while I was walking through Costco I saw... Christmas Decorations!

I mean, really! I'm a big fan of the holidays. I love them, but part of their appeal is that they happen, well, during the holiday season. If every day was Christmas then it becomes everyday. Doesn't it?

Now, I always pishaw-ed at those folks who grumped that the decorations came out in October. After all, I'm about ready to think in shades of green and red at that point. The air is getting chilly, leaves are turning, the hills are starting green, it's practically winter. (You have to realize that living in California, rain and the leaves turning is about the ONLY signs of winter we get) I'm all ready to drag out my down coat and moon boots!

But August!? Common folks! It's 97 bloody degrees outside! A green and red train with snow on the roof just doesn't quiet... fit. And holly wreaths covered in lights? Sorry, they clash with my bikini.

I never though _I_ would be saying this but Bah Fucking Humbug!

Oh, that's nothing. I've seen Christmas decorations at Costco's as early as _January_!

Thank you, I'm here until Friday. Don't forget to tip the waitresses, and be careful when you drive home.


Seriously, though - I'm pretty conservative when it comes to Christmas decorations. While I understand that shops have to put them up for sale a while ahead of the event, I'm of the opinion that Christmas is the period from Christmas eve to January 13th; and Christmas decorations should only be up during that time.

I don't want to hear a damn thing about Christmas until AT LEAST after Halloween. One holiday at a time, people! (Though Thanksgiving/X-Mas combo does work for me).

Ok, I can't say as I agree with you there. I love Christmas and the docorations for my house HAVE to be up the day after (or weekend of) Thanksgiving and taken down on my Birthday (January 4th for those of you keeping score)

Luckily, my sweetheart has no objections to this.
