It seems like christmas sneaks up every year by a few days. It certainly ain't waiting for Thanks giving this year!
The black friday has turned into black month. Christmas has already taken over retail stores, radio channels and coffee flavors. Thanks giving is a good week away but you can already get ready for Christmas while you are cooking for thanks giving.
Santa is already up in store aisles, ornaments already on sale, gifts already on shelves, baits already in place for shoppers. You could easily just skip one holiday in the anticipation on the next one.
It seems that people would already be shopped out and exhausted by the time the real 'Friday after thanks giving' arrives. Would there be a loud silence on streets coming Friday? The only people in business would be the ones selling gift wrapping stuff and trees.
As it is I always wondered if people had a night out to deck up malls on the thanks giving night. And you have to wonder, coz' if you were to go into malls after thanks giving (as in right after)...everything is ready for christmas. Songs, ornaments, choirs, trees, fake snow...its all there right after 2 mins of thanks giving being over. It is almost as if we feed ourself to prepare for what is about to happen on Friday – start prep work for Christmas.
Fall is late and mild, days are short and christmas is here in spirit (shopping spirit!). Lets make the most of it. After all, joy season could never be too long...eggnog could never be too much...retail deals can never be too sweet.
