Xmas now?!

[Craig58]

I'm sitting in a PA turnpike rest stop taking a break from the miserable weather and drive home that has gone from a tad under two hrs to about 3.5 hrs.

They are playing nothing but Xmas music. Really? Already? I know it's snowing out but REALLY!

Bah.. humbug!

I have no problem with folks decorating early. I don't even mind the store decorations starting to come out. But xmas should be special. By the time xmas rolls around I'm sick of hearing the same xmas songs everywhere I go over and over. Kind of takes the specialness out of it all. One full month should be enough!

I know it's crazy but If My wife had her way I think there would be a room devoted to Christmas all year and the really sad thing is I'd let her if I could have a halloween room :razz:.

I knew a couple in colorado, they left decorations up year round, 3 huge artificial christmas trees, I would find it would get old after a while. The spiders would love making webs in the branches.

I normally go all out decorating and bought tons of stuff to put up this year but have decided to take the year off and just enjoy everybody elses hard work. I normally start in early October to get things done and this year should have started in Sept. Oh well, next year! It will seem strange haveing the yard dark.
