Do you remember growing up and right after Halloween getting ready for Thanksgiving? Your Mom would be shopping for the biggest turkey she could find and you also knew that right after Thansgiving the best time of the year started, Christmas season!!!! Wondering what Santa would bring you, tearing up the house looking for presents you knew Mom and Dad had bought. Waiting on Christmas Eve and not sleeping cause you knew you heard Santa downstairs...
Well say goodbye to that our kids will never know those feelings of excitement seeing that right after Halloween BOOM, it's Christmas season get out now and shop, shop, shop. Black Friday prices this Saturday, Christmas music 24/7 on some radio stations.
I don't get it do the retail stores really need the money that bad and with our economy being like it is do they expect them to come in droves with money in hand? Even my 11 year old said the other day, Dad, it's too early for it to be Christmas season and I couldn't agree more with him.
I wish for my childrens sake we could go back to those days of waiting until after Thanksgiving and have the true meaning of Christmas come back to us all celebrating the birth of Jesus, celebrating the love for our families and gift giving from the heart.
Not having it start after Halloween because of the almighty dollar but I guess it'll never be like that again.
Just my two cents.. Merry Christmas.
