While shopping a few days ago, I came across something I didn't expect to see... In the back corner of the store, a huge display of tall, beautifully decorated Christmas trees stood, with neatly wrapped giftboxes scattered all around them. I stared in disbelief, wondering if I'd just lost track of time, or if people were just insane.
...Christmas? WHAT?
Come on, it's October! Give it a few more weeks, at the very least! God. It's totally ridiculous. Months before Halloween, we already have displays set up for it. Months before Christmas, months before Valentine's Day, months before Independence Day... Seriously, we live with enough anticipation already, give us a break. We don't need pre-holiday heart attacks. Can't we just focus on one holiday at a time? It would help so much.
Not to say that seeing this display of Christmas trees didn't make me jump for joy. Just that it's too early, and now, I'll be anticipating it for the next three months. And soon, that anticipation will turn into anxiety, and that anxiety will turn into stress, and that stress will turn into "I'll-rip-your-fucking-head-off" anger. It isn't fair.

It's like that here too, they move all the stuff around and put all the christmas shit right at the front of stores.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the annual christmas pagaent here is usually in early novembeer, which i think is pretty pointless.
On the plus side...EASTER STUFF SHOULD BE OUT IN A FEW WEEKS >.<
