Why must the "Holiday Season" start so damn early here in the US? I remember seeing Christmas stuff in store flyers back around Labor Day. What ever happened to Halloween, Thanksgiving, THEN Christmas?

Humbug, I say. Humbug!

I used to love Christmas a few years ago, but now it starts so early that I'm already sick of it one week in to december. I've felt this way the last few years really. :-/

The Christmas MUSIC is the worst.
I must say...
not a single song played at Christmas time that doesn't irritate me.
If I worked in retail and had to listen to it all day, I'd...uhh... wear earplugs and be much less efficient; or something to that effect.

I also dislike how I am witness to terrible parenting skills whenever I go grocery shopping.
Won't leave any examples-- I'm sure you can use your imaginations.

I agree, but luckily I have my loved earphones and my music wherever I go.
Would it be rude to listen to it when all the family is singing, though? 🙄

I find it frightening that it's coming to an end.

^ While I love Christmas, this is the thing I hate the most. I cannot stand Christmas music. >.< So far, the only Christmas songs I've found that I can stand to listen to are the August Burns Red covers of a few songs. Even then they're not the full songs with lyrics, they're just metal instrumental covers, which are absolutely awesome I might add. 🙂

I still haven't finished my Christmas shopping because I find it so stressful.

Whatever am I going to get??

Not been a Christmas person for the past 4 years and am still not, I guess cause i work long hours and that's sorta killed the spirit...On the plus side, plenty of money ready for the New Year sales 😀

Yea i know the Christmas music ain't everyone's cup of tea, mind you 2 songs are ok for me but hearing the radio even with earplugs all day almost makes me wanna tear my hair out 😛
