Holiday season

With tomorrow being December the 1^st and this also being the first weekend in December it’s that time of year where we now place up are Christmas decorations and start getting ready to celebrate this festive season.

Now I will be honest with you that for me Christmas is one of those times of years where while I was growing up I always enjoyed myself but within the last ten years I have started to dislike the hype that comes with this time of year which bring me nicely to what has ticked me off so far this year.

Most of my problems come from the retails who have decide that it is best to place up their Christmas decorations up in the middle or end of October which to me is far too earlier for them to be doing so. I just get the feeling that they want to drag out the season as long as possible but as soon as Christmas day or New Years Day has been completed they pull it all down. If I was given the choice I wouldn’t allow retails to place them up till at least the middle of November at earliest which also bring me to Christmas music.

If you are going to play any Christmas music then at least start doing so on or after the 1^st of December and not how I discovered in the middle of November were almost every five stores I walked into was playing some form of Christmas music.

I don’t want to give the believe that I don’t like Christmas full stop but when it comes to the build up or the hype I just believe that there is a time and a place of all of it and that the closer it is to December the more Christmassy it is.

The one thing that worries me the most is a lot of people seem to be doing the same thing and the best way that I could explain this to you is when I was driving home from work at the beginning of the week the amount of house that had already placed up their decorations was unbelievable to me. It is as if they believed last weekend was the beginning of December.

All I will say is good luck to all those that will attempt to place up there Christmas decorations this weekend and I do hope that you also enjoy yourself.

Until next time
