    Default So when did we rename Thanksgiving, Christmas part 1?

    First off, if you know where I got the title from I love ya

    So I'm sitting here killing some time on Halloween night, so I'm listening to a pure "radio channel" on my TV. I decide to listen to the station called "Sounds of the Seasons" which is playing a strange mix of music they feel is befitting Halloween. Midnight strolls along and BOOM!... Christmas Carols...

    Sweet zombie Jesus people, Halloween is still technically going on... the corpse is still warm and we're already moving on to something that won't be happening for almost two months!

    So now I weep for our future...

    I say that it should be illegal to celebrate Christmas until after thanksgiving. It isn't time for the warm fuzzies yet, people!

    Althiugh after Christmas we do have more to be thankful for...

    But still. Stop skipping the damn holidays!

    Christmas shopping starts earlier every year. Soon, we'll be doing our Christmas 2008 shopping in December of 2007.

    Ah well, any excuse for a celebration. *hails saturnalia*

    Christmas has gone downhill for me the last few years. Manchester doesnt want to affend other religions and was so dull and crap last year. We had purple reindeer in the main shopping center ... Bullcrap. The TV has gone mega [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] and I just hate it.

    End rant.

    I loathe Christmas. Always have, and most likely alwasy will.
    The only good that comes out of it are the feasts.

    However, I absolutely love Halloween and Thanksgiving. Horrors and smurfing freights of hot food...

    Orgasmic!

    Christmas has always been more about commercialism than anything else. It happens with all the major holidays, really; stores have to get their merchandise out well in advance to maximize the amount of money they can squeeze out of us. I used to complain about it, but I haven't really had any Christmas spirit since I was 15 or 16, so I don't really care anymore.

    Worst part of Christmas: Commercialism in stores, bad TV shows based on the "holiday spirit," radios playing the same old crappy Christmas songs over and over and over again throughout December (and my parents listening to it).

    Best part: The warmth of being with my family on Christmas morning.

    Therefore, Christmas celebrations should be contained to Christmas day. QED.

    I love Christmas, but I don't love it until the day after Thanksgiving.

    Signature by rubah. I think.
