... anytime it surfaces before Thanksgiving. Actually, I don't hate Christmas. I love December and the Christmas time of year. I hate any mention of Christmas, any advertising of Christmas, any decoration of Christmas, that occurs before Thanksgiving. 1/12 of the year dedicated to Christmas is enough, we don't need 1/4 of the year or 1/6 of the year dedicated to it. Christmas can start after Thanksgiving. Heck I don't even mind when it spills into the New Year. Just let Thanksgiving have its props.
I also hate "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" or other politically correct mumbo-jumbo so that someone doesn't have to hear the horrific phrase "Merry Christmas." In fact, the last few years, I've been saying Merry Christmas in public, and find everyone returns the same "Merry Christmas." So apparently I'm not the only one with a little bit of contempt for the politically correct police. I mean, I don't get how "Merry Christmas" (or "Happy Haunukah" or whatever) equates in any way, to any one, something offense. "Eat shit and die this Christmas!" is offensive.
Who's with me?
And don't think the hypocrisy of me talking about Christmas before Thanksgiving isn't lost on me.
Now, off my pedestal and back to your regularly scheduled programming.

I am...I thought it was ridiculous that I was listening to Christmas music on the radio on Halloween!
LOL!!! I think perhaps I will try the "eat shit and die this Christmas" greeting. I'll report back and let you know how it goes!
I am with you. and if someone is offended because I said "Merry Christmas" then they need to get thicker skin or they will never make it in this world of ours.
