5. Costco has had their Christmas decorations up since late August. |
|
And what's even crazier - my cube-mate at work was telling me he used to work at a department store and they would get their Christmas shit in the beginning of JUNE. Seriously.

Back when I worked retail (1994) we would get some boxes of Christmas merchandise in July, but we couldn't put it out until October.

3. I went shopping today.... |
|
something I don't do that often, and could hardly find what I was looking for because the shelves were filled with Christmas crap.
They really beat it into the ground. It has ruined Christmas for me.

6. I still love Christmas |
|
No matter how much people try to ruin it I still get excited during the holidays. To me it's about getting together with family and people you love. I refuse to let anyone destroy it for me.
