So it's the second week of October. I went to TJ Maxx to buy myself a scarf and anything else I could possibly find (because I lack all self control in that store). Anyways, I walked back by the decorations to smell candles and I noticed something out of place. Christmas decorations.
Every year I feel like the decorations come out sooner and sooner, and quite honestly I hate it. It's not even Halloween. Thanksgiving is over a month away. I'm still trying to go to a haunted houses, not drink hot cocoa and watch Rudolph prance around.
Good god, you can even go target and buy tree skirts already, it's ridiculous.
I'm so fed up with pushing for dragged out seasons and holidays. It's like listening to your favorite song in slow motion. Just think about how awful that would sound. Now you know how I feel about this.
I wish we could go back to a more traditional sense and that that would be accepted.
A perfect example of that would be how the Mall of America is staying closed on Thanksgiving. People are outraged because they can't shop at 10 pm. for the deals that were once at 3 a.m. on the actual day of Black Friday. It's Thanksgiving people! Spend time eating food and with family. It's the culture we've collectively created and it's repulsive.
The Christmas decorations need to be put back until November 1st. The holiday should be celebrated on just that day. The pumpkin spice latte should not come before fall even starts.
Get it together, people!
