Kill Christmas Creep
Cats: culture|The frenzy seems to start earlier each year: November, October, September.
It’s spreading like a bad mould across the calendar.
Why not just leave the silly decorations up all year round. That way, we’d save the bother of having to put them up and take them down again.
Too much Christmas is like too much ice cream. It gives you a sore belly.
We haven’t even stood silent for the war dead.
Let’s kill Christmas Creep before it kills Christmas.

You have hit upon one of my major bugbears. There is no quicker way to kill the magic than to have something staring you in the face 24/7, as anybody who has been married for any length of time will tell you.

I used to think like this, however now 65% of my job is event planning and you have to think ahead, otherwise it nothing ever gets done. So the I’ve been planing our holiday event since mid October.

It’s one thing to *plan* for Christmas. It’s quite another to ram it down everyone’s throat for the entire fall.
Wasn’t that the whole point of the four sundays of Advent anyways? To set a schedule for celebrating Christmas!
