With a full two weeks still to go until Thanksgiving, the airwaves are already full of holiday cheer. Call me what you will, but at the moment, “Scrooge” seems to be just about right. Buy-me, buy-me commercials for classic Barbie dolls, Leapsters and the other latest fad toys and games fill the airwaves while catalogs, catalogs and more catalogs -- Lands’ End, L.L Bean, Harry and David and the Vermont Country Store, among others – fill the mailboxes. That ho-ho-ho bearded guy in the red suit is starting to show up everywhere you turn and soon enough we won’t be able to escape the music -- endless refrains of silver bells, chestnuts roasting and Felice Navidad.
Ah, yes, Election Day is over and the holiday season has arrived. Can we fast forward to Tu Bishvat?
Couldn't agree more. Bha humbug!
ReplyDeleteWhite twinkle lights and the red cups from Starbucks bring me great holiday cheer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I will say that it is a bit too early in the season. I can't get in to my Christmas spirit until after Thanksgiving.
