November 16th, 39 days before Christmas, and the Christmas music at work has started. 39 more days. I don't know if I'm going to make it this year. If I disappear soon, it's probably because I killed myself.
It only gets worse from here. We still have Black Friday to deal with, then Star Wars' opening (that's like a holiday to some), then Christmas.
I saw some fucker had up his Christmas tree in October, and that really pissed me off. I with people could at least keep their holidays stuck to their respective months. I'm fine with Halloween bleeding over into November, since it's the last day of the month, but most other holidays have no excuse, and Christmas is greedy as fuck to be around for 4 months (Oct through Jan usually). I say October, because most stores have their Halloween decorations right next to the Christmas stuff.
Likewise, only I'm thankful I don't have to hear it at work. I walk into a market and I'm like they're starting with this shit already?!...what happened til waiting til after Thanksgiving?
We usually are very late (during the week before X-mas) setting up the christmas tree, which is fine for me. We have Saint-Nicolas on 6th December very comparable to Santa Claus, I think that day should have been past before people should get out their X-mas stuff.
