Well, Thanksgiving is over (FINALLY) which means Christmas has washed over us in a tsunami of trees, Santa Claus', and jingle bells. Some may think of Christmas as the most wonderful time of the year, but little did they know that Christmas is actually a year long event.
Christmas doesn't ever end because when December 25th comes and goes, it just means a whole year of slowly building up to Christmas again. Soon, all holidays will just be Christmas. The media, malls, stores, and Wal-Mart have already started pushing out Thanksgiving for good, leaving no room on the shelves for the Christmas barrage once Halloween is over.
Even poor Halloween is slowly being pushed away as people are prepping for Christmas all year round. News Years Day will soon just be called "New Christmas Year", Valentines day will be "Heart Christmas", Easter is just Christmas with a bunny instead of Santa. If you live in America, Fourth of July is just exploding Christmas. Even days like Labor Day or Memorial Day will just be more Christmas!
What will we do when it starts snowing in August? When we hear "Jingle Bell Rock" in JC Penny in early June? Will this be the end of variation as we know it? Will every Friday in the office be ugly sweater day? Will mall Santas have jobs all year round? What will become of stores like Spirit Halloween? of Hot Topic?
I think its time we take a stand against Christmas. Stand up to the world and say "No! Christmas doesn't start until December 1st! Maybe the day after Thanksgiving if we feel like it!"
Its time we give November back to Thanksgiving! Make Thanksgiving great again!
