We are a few weeks out from Thanksgiving but that seems to be the farthest thing from everyone’s minds. Is it just me or does Christmas come earlier and earlier every year? Thanksgiving has become just another day with family, an obstacle to the real holidays that society excepts, Christmas.
This year on October 29th the Hallmark channel started its countdown to Christmas, Santa’s already in the mall, and Christmas music is already on the radio. The target toy book has already come in the mail and any site online has the Christmas catalogue with the must-see gifts of the season.
Yesterday my neighbors put up there Christmas tree and got a wreath for there door. Don’t get me wrong I love Christmas but the first frost just happened here in Maine it feels a little early. I grew up believing the Christmas season started the day after Thanksgiving on Black Friday.
Despite what I might think the Christmas season is I better get on board with the Christmas Creeps, the idea that merchants and retailers bring out Christmas products before the traditional Christmas season, Black Friday. Check out a few of the best Christmas Creeps so far
