Christmas in December

I was just coming to the conclusion that Black Friday had turned into Black November when Thanksgiving came along. And what was that supposed to mean? The start of the Christmas season, of course!

This is going to sound blasphemous and all, but here goes… What would be so wrong with having Christmas in December?

I know, I’m so out of touch, so out of my mind, but I’m sick of Christmas decorations already and it isn’t even December yet!

For one thing, it’s not cold enough. It isn’t always in the forties the week after Thanksgiving but that’s what our forecast is offering for the next few days. I just can’t get into the mood.

And would somebody please tell me how this works in Australia… isn’t it summer there? And I’ve been to L.A. in December to see the silver Christmas trees all shiny… and that was fine because I was just there a week and back to snowy New England before the 25th. But I digress.

I know this campaign will go nowhere, but I’m going to make my own “Christmas in December” bumper sticker.

On sale now. Get ‘em quick! Oh, and they make excellent stocking stuffers!
