4. Wonder to what extent will it get to when
some people would admit their favorite time of the Christmas / New Year's period were December 26th and 27th when the Christmas music is gradually phased out for another 11 or 12 months to be replaced by regular programming on the part of radio stations and that time in January after the flow of Christmas cards had tapered off and the mail system or postal system started returning to normal.

2. Every year, it starts 1 week earlier
Eventually, in about 47 years, they'll have worked their way back through the calendar and CHRISTMAS WILL LAST ALL YEAR LONG.

Brutal, isn't it?

6. Just pause and remember the underlying theme of Christmas
Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men, and Buy More Mass-Produced Crap Or Else.

7. Maybe 1 cure for the "commercialism blues" is to buy your family or

friends stuff you're sure they'd really, really want or really, really, need, not to mention really, really have a lot of use for.
