We have went from near summer weather a couple of weeks ago to snow in Erie PA this week. That might have something to do with the sense of imbalence many are feeling but I blame the Christmas music that showed up the week of Halloween.
Yes the last week in October one of my radio stations started playing Christmas Carols. This week my HR director started playing Christmas music on her XM radio.
Call me a Scrooge - you're entitled - but I refuse to turn on Christmas music until the week or so before Christmas.
Now we're seeing all the buy-me buy-me buy-me commercials. The one that (currently) sits my teeth on edge though is the one where they're all going to Grandma's house and the mother just wants to go home and open her new Best Buy package so they drive up, honk at the old woman waiting patiently on the porch, then roar away laughing.
What lesson does that teach?
I prefer one of my favorite Christmas commercials from my youth. I do apologize for the quality of the video but I bet it is enough to jog your memory:
the picture above is from Christmas 2006
