I totally agree with Laura. Every year it’s earlier and earlier with the effing Christmas decorations. Before it was 2 seconds after Thanksgiving midnight. Then they decided to just cram all of November in there. Now, it’s RIGHT after Halloween, RIGHT THE FUCK AFTER, and it’s like CALM THE FUCK DOWN, people! I love Christmas as much as the next person but do we need all the hype leading up to it? Pretty soon we’ll be seeing trailers on TV starting in March:

COMING TO THEATERS (AND THE REST OF THE WORLD) DECEMBER 25th:
“IN A WORLD, WHERE HURRICANES FUCK UP HALLOWEEN AND THANKSGIVING IS LESS ABOUT THANKSGIVING AND MORE ABOUT BLACK FRIDAY…CAN ONE MAN SAVE THE WORLD FROM APATHY AND DESPAIR? STARRING TOM CRUISE AS SANTA CLAUS IN: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 25: SAVING CHRISTMAS.”

You and Laura sound EXACTLY like my best friend Stacey and I. I just blogged about some of our antics. She just got engaged and her fiance loathes us together. We started creating a text conference and including him every time we talk…which is 275 times a day. He adores me.

I had to chuckle as I am probably related to your friend. I was freaking out with all the Christmas decorations and lights on my block the other night. We just had a hurricane, things are a mess, and the giant inflatable snowmen are waving at me already. We had stores ready before Columbus day. It really seems to rush the season to me and makes me annoyed. But, I am laughing because I just came back from Williams-Sonoma and was eating their free holiday peppermint bark -so I guess rushing the holiday can have its good side.

I was still looking for outdoorsy summer stuff in Home Depot a month ago (I’m kinda slow that way, but in my defense it was still the freaking middle of October and 75 degrees!), but I couldn’t find a damn hose sprayer anywhere because all the outdoorsy summer stuff aisles were full of Christmas decorations. WTF?

COULD NOT agree with you more.

Christmas decorations should only be put up within the relm of sanity. Even early December – I’m still a little skittish about. But mid December, or even the day before, that’s ok with me

Not that I put up decorations. I’d rather spend all the money I can on food, eat well.

I’ve thought about putting mine up too, already. I know, I should be ashamed of myself…I’m gonna wait until after Thanksgiving though. We just have a lot of crap going on lately and I felt like it would make things cheerier. I’m blown away that Thanksgiving is next week though. Where did 2012 go??

We don’t do anything fancier than putting up a wreath on our front door, and then we endure a few weeks of noticeable stares from our more energetic neighbors. But I always thought that it was time to put up the holiday lights after the immaculate conceptions – sorry I was born and raised RC

They were playing Christmas carols in Michael’s. IN SEPTEMBER.

I started to get really stabby and my husband had to physically remove me from the scissor aisle. Then we ended up in the aisle with all the expensive art supplies and he was all “this is not good, either” as I began screaming that it was fucking SEPTEMBER and the god damn retailers needed to let us get through one fucking holiday at a time before bombarding us with Christmas shit when it was still 110 degrees outside.

I’m no longer allowed in Michael’s stores.

And I have crafting to do. I blame the government. Or Bin Laden.

Given that the only thing I decorate for is Santa and snow (although I live in a sunny part of California that won’t see snow until the nuclear winter), I am guilty of decorating early. I put up icicle lights on my patio the first week of November. If I didn’t hate my $#%!hole of an apartment, I would probably have done crazy winter decorations by now. Maybe my next place if I find someplace I want to live in for more than the standard 6 month lease. Or the RV I should consider buying instead of having to move apartments all the time…

Don’t all these crazy-ass people realize that the reason you wait until the day after Thanksgiving to put up the Christmas decorations is so that you can work off all the food you ate?

Our Hobby Lobby had Christmas out in JULY!
