Is it just me....

Or is the Christmas music driving you crazy. Don't get me wrong I love Christmas, I love singing carols, I love buying presents, I love going to church plays, I love eating all of the Christmas goodies but Christmas music ALREADY!!

One radio station up here started playing Christmas tunes the day after Halloween. That is way too early. What about Thanksgiving?? Give Thanksgiving a chance. Poor Thanksgiving everyone forgets about it!!

And of course the department stores are decorated and "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" is being played nonstop.

I am sure the marketing ploy is to play Christmas music so early that people will think, "Hey I need to start buying gifts." I am sure the thought behind it is to raise retail sales.

I will step down from my soap box. Hope you have a holly jolly weekend.
