It seems like September is starting to pass on like any other month. And it also seems like time is moving at a decent speed. What I mean is that if the seed of time continues at this rate we all will stumble upon Christmas in 99 days! Isn't that neat? My Dear Readers you are probably asking the question of why I am even mentioning Christmas. I WILL TELL YOU WHY! I just so happened to be enjoying the weekly shopping with my father (yes, father and son shopping still exists) and I happened to stumble upon.....Christmas decorations. The last time I checked the Calendar we were still in September?
Uggg, these Capitalistic trucks. I wonder what they are thinking when they start selling this stuff two months in advance.
"Uhhh sir?"
"Yeah, what now Bart? I just finished stocking the Halloween candy."
"Its September..."
"Oh yeaaaa, well let's get the Christmas stuff out since it's SO CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS!"

Short dialogues is my way of expressing my innermost thoughts. Besides....NO ONE SEEMS TO BE READING THIS ANYWAY! I dunno, it seems like my Dear Readers are being more passive. I need you to leave comments so I get a false sense of achievement! This is all pointless if I don't have my Dear Readers!
Alright, enough sulking. I just think it funny how every year they sell Christmas decorations so early. Pretty soon we will see them during the summer. It wouldn't be weird if we lived in the North, but we live in Hawaii! For crying out loud, we only know its Christmas when Al Roker reports the weather in a parka on our TVs!
Don't they know Thanksgiving comes first??? Although it's annoying to see all the Christmas stuff starting to pour out onto the shelves so early, I must admit that I love the color and the festivity. Sigh!
ReplyDeleteI must admit to being more of a stalker than a Dear Reader, since I never comment but just lurk about, waiting for the next post. Forgive me. Your writing is immensely witty and quite diverting. I hope that you continue posting, and I like that your middle name is a book of the bible. Even though it isn't Habakkuk...
ReplyDeleteI find this to be disturbing on many levels, however I will gladly accept the extended hand of a Dear Reader. Once you start reading this blog you are considered a Dear Reader.
DeleteDear Scrooge,
ReplyDeleteNow that I have found your blog, I am extemely disappointed in your lack of yuletide cheer...please find some so you don't bum out everyone else...take heart that you have 3 months to rectify this situation;-)
Fact: They stock because people buy...the demand is there by those who love celebrating OUR SAVIOR'S BIRTH, people obsessed with Santa and people who are obsessed with over planning things...aka oldest children
(I realize there is some overlapping in my gross generalizations)...
When is it too early to celebrate OUR SAVIOR'S BIRTH?! Also, Christmas IS the "most wonderful time of the year" according to the song..."with kids jingle belling, and everyone telling you, "be of good cheer..." So, why not get the party started EARLY?!
Sincerely,
Dead Reader (aka: someone from Maui)
P.S. If you didn't get my sarcasm...I'm sorry...that you don't have a sense of humor.
