actually this year i haven't noticed it quite as early. i remember last year some stupid station started playing christmas music 24/7 the day after halloween

haven't noticed christmas songs on the radio until this week (and not the 24/7 kind. i only heard one mixed in). haven't noticed christmas specials on tv until this week. and no decorations up downtown yet. and next week is thanksgiving.

i was just thinking about this the other day and it seemed better this year.

This year's early Christmas is actually semi-justified by the shitty economy. The shitty stores need to sell their shitty products, and this year, they are doing it at (for them) shitty prices.

Yay!

I heard the music at the dentist's office for an hour. The stations shouldn't play it until Thanksgiving at the earliest.

i haven't seen any xmas paraphernalia yet either, except for Delirium Noel now on tap at the Saucer. But then again, I spend all my time at work/bars . . . so i avoid all typical locales of commercialism.

One of my favorite things to do at Christmas is to get a sandwich and a drink, sit on one of the benches in a central area of the mall, and watch people be idiots. People watching is A+++ at Christmastime.

One of my favorite things to do at Christmas is to get in the truck and pull the boat to the coast and go fishing. Fishing is A+++++ at Christmastime.

^^^pagan festival associated with the winter solstice. the church, as it did with most pagan festivals, claimed it for their own and associated some religious event with it.

the bible even says something to the effect of "don't bring trees in your house like those infidels"

asside for the coporporate/consumerism whoring, lets not forget the huge drama that family gathers bring, the drama in relationships that pop up, and the overly fake/annoyingly pushy christmas "cheer" people take on.


Then you can add in the fact that christmas is really kind of a fake religious holiday..........







[Edited on December 21, 2008 at 12:34 AM. Reason : a fake christian holiday, that most of its followers don't really take to heart/focus on]

"Jeremiah 10:2 KJV Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3* For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4* They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good."

iits not meant to be jesus actual birthdate but the celebration of his birth

you can celebrate whatever the hell you want, but if you are going to call it "christmas" it better be about christ and not coca cola or furby or christmas trees and shit

^i know. that doesn't change the fact that the time around the winter solstice was a pagan festival first.

they didn't randomly choose dec. 25th.

I hate that since I'm Wiccan, I'm expected to jump in on the "It's originally a pagan holiday" bitch-fest and get up in arms about every "Merry Christmas" or manger scene every fucking year. I like Christians, most of my best friends and family are Christian, and I'm not gonna expend energy raining on their parade. My religion is only about 50 years old, and I'm cool with that.
