IS anyone else getting annoyed..

Recommended Posts

about all the stores bringing their Xmas stuff out WAAAYYYY before Thanksgiving? MY jaw almost dropped when our local dept stores were setting up the fake Xmas tree demo's right after Halloween.

C'mon now, I realize that sales are prolly slow what with the economy, but it seems like all the stores are just forgetting about Thanksgiving and moving on to the big money maker...

I am getting annoyed. I don't like listening to all the Christmas music in the stores and the 'bell ringers' outside of the stores. Wait until after Thanksgiving! People will shop early if they want to, there's no need for decorating right after Halloweeen, we all know when Christmas is!!!!

Thank goodness it isn't just me. But it isn't just stores. Even the cities I've been passing through, as well as the one I'm currently staying in, have begun the city-revamp deal with decorations for Christmas! I had to look at a calendar to make sure I hadn't missed Thanksgiving!

annoyed doesn't begin to describe it. The day after Halloween, I was at a grocery store, and they had out all Christmas wrapping paper, and the candy (decorated for christmas), etc... THE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN! Hello, anyone remember thanksgiving? It really is ridiculous.

Yep....I offered a deal. Lower the child support and I won't sue the shit out of you. So far all I get is threats from her attorney. *Shrug* Here we go again. This is getting to be like a hobby for me. I'd rather spend my money on skydiving.

Riddler's predictions for the year 2010:

1. Christmas will become a year-round event, not out of a desire for peace on earth, and love for your fellow man, but because of the marketing potential for gifts, cards, wrapping paper and Christmas-colored M&Ms. An act of Congress will eventually make it illegal to pander Christmas in February, just to give everyone a month off. Originally, Congress wanted January off, but conceded to retailer pressure to move to February because it has the fewest days of any month. Because of this, Groundhog Day is the second-most marketed holiday.

2. Thanksgiving holiday, found somewhere between the 11th month of Christmas and 12th month of Christmas, has been completely redesigned after the results of a focus group concluded that it's more profitable to sell Turkey Televisions and Plymouth Pilgrim autos than to encourage people to sit indoors and eat canned squash and Tofurkey.

3. Guar's "Christmas with an Axe" MP3 tops Microsoft's Billboard MP3 chart, finally nudging out Britney Spear's "Yet Another Christmas Remake by a Struggling Comeback Artist", which has owned the top spot in the months of May and June.

Dude, funny AND intelligent...and scary with it's social implications. Are we that easily led, as a whole, that Christmas can keep starting earlier and earlier each year?:S

Christma$ $uck$. I hate reigndeer with red noses, goddamn snowmen with carrot noses and lump of coal smiles and those suck songs in the mall that you are forced to go to once a year to buy shit to give people that either don't need it or wonder if you are some kind of 'tard that thinks they would appreciate what you gave them. Other than that Merry fucking Xmas:)

Yep, all except for the Plymouth part. Plymouth rock was nice and all, but not good enough for a German company to keep a floundering name alive.

The last big seller for Plymouth was the Road Runner, from a scant 34 or 35 years ago.

Sadly, Plymouth is going to way of the Dodo Bird.

Time to rename the place Dodge Rock. Or Mercedes Rock. Or Qualcomm Rock. B|

It did ignore me allot, but for some reason, this year it hasn't been as bad. Just now starting to see Christmas stuff and hear Christmas on the radio. Nice, for a change that they seem to be wating until later to do this.

I'm REALLY hoping that the child support is EXTREMELY excessive for you to be that down on paying.... how old is your kid(s)?

Son...7 years old. I have NO idea why the court thinks I should pay her enough to buy a house. In fact...the amount I'm supposed to pay is $5 less than than the first house I ever bought. Oh...and that was the mortgage PLUS insurance. I think it's excessive regardless....the real reasons I don't want to pay her are a VERY long and convoluted story. Let's just say that the courts have FUCKED me at every turn.
