JENNR8R 0 #1 November 22, 2006 ...preventing Christmas from happening before Thanksgiving. I'm already tired of all of the Christmas advertising and what's with the Christmas carols playing on the radio stations for weeks now! What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billeisele 130 #2 November 22, 2006 amen sister I was in a newspaper printing facility yesterday, you would not beleive the hndreds of pallets of advertisments for the sales this weekend, i couldn't help but think about how many trees were destroyed, etc. to print that stuff this plus the stuff you mentioned can "turn you off" to the holidaysGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #3 November 22, 2006 I echo the Amen, Sister!!! While I do my best to acquire the holiday spirit before January 15, that's usually about when it shows up...and that's a little late for the rest of the world's liking. However, there's no reason to start Christmas in October...puts waaaaaaay too much pressure on me.

DougH 270 #5 November 22, 2006 Try working in a chain supermarket around the holidays, with brain washing music pumped in from the mothership. The day after halloween the X-mas music would start, really really bad x-mas music. Like Janet Jackson on acid doing her own rendition of Silver Bells. I hug my cube every day, it is heaven compared to that. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
