On November 13 I first noticed Christmas lights in our neighbourhood. November 13! It's getting later and later every year. Usually the lights go up early November. The day after Halloween.
What's going on? Why are people becoming more humbug? Why don't people want to decorate?
I think it comes down to 2 reasons. 1) Laziness. People no longer want to put an effort into celebrating the holiday season. This is a shame. 2) Less holiday spirit. In the old days, people lit their houses up after Thanksgiving. And the lights were huge, extravagant, unbelievable.
Christmas is just not the big deal it used to be. The last few years, holiday shopping spending has been flat. I haven't even heard any Christmas carols on the radio. Usually this time of year one of the stations goes 24/7 Christmas. Nothing yet.
People it's mid November. Christmas will be here in the blink of an eye! We need to start celebrating and partying and buying gifts. We need to start standing in line and getting alcohol and calling restaurants to book our holiday party.
Things are changing. Christmas is fading away, and I don't like it one bit.
