And here's why:
People get way too eager for the Christmas season, and the moment Halloween ends, it's like Christmas is coming any day. This year, while driving about on Halloween night, we saw TWO houses with their Christmas lights on! There were a couple houses that had lights on that went with their Halloween decor, but no ... these two houses were Christmas lights. The same lights they had up last year for Christmas. Seriously. On freaking Halloween. I know they weren't just up for Halloween, because driving home from work last night, we saw the same two houses with the lights on.
It makes me so mad! It's one thing to put your lights up this early ... since it's still nice out and you don't have to worry about ice on the roof or anything ... but to turn them on? That is just too much! It's November 3rd, for crying out loud! There are still leaves on the trees and there is no snow on the ground! It is NOT Christmas time yet!!
To make matters worse, I found out yesterday we'll be playing Christmas music at work starting mid-next week. As if I don't get in a bad enough mood on a busy day at work ... Christmas music is only going to make it that much worse. I really hate working retail at Christmas time ...
For me, Christmas stuff doesn't really start until December. That's when our lights go up, that's when the tree goes up, that's when the Christmas season begins. The only thing Christmas-related that should start sooner is shopping. That's IT. Come on, people!
Anyway ... here's Aden is his Halloween costume!
