I’m on a very small island here. Out of the 7.8 BILLION people on this giant floating rock I might be the only person with this take…
Christmas season kinda sucks. Now don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas and even Christmas Eve. But this weird obsession we as a society get with having to put up Christmas decorations in October and getting ass blasted by Christmas commercials and music before November is just the worst. The 75-day charade of Christmas just gets exhausting in my humble opinion. I promise I’m no Scrooge or Grinch but can we please stop pretending we need Christmas-themed stuff for 3-4 months? It’s ridiculous.
If it was up to me I’d say go all out on December 22nd through the New Year and then we are done but that’s not reasonable I know. I think a post-thanksgiving through the first week of January is more than a fair compromise. But hey, whatever makes you happy. If being a total nut job and pretending it’s a Christmas with leaves still on the trees make you happy then all the power to you!
