The other evening my friend and I were cruising around Waldron and Russell looking for a parking spot, when I noticed something twinkling in the distance. As we drove a few blocks I saw a beautiful display of Christmas twinkle lights! I was so excited because Christmas is my favorite holiday, and I personally don't think that 25 days before is enough time to enjoy all the wonderful festivities. My friend on the other hand was completely annoyed because it wasn't even Thanksgiving yet.
Maybe my Waldron neighbors just wanted to add a little light to their house since it gets dark out so early. Is that completely tacky that they are decorating so early? I personally think it's tacky when people leave their lights up all year round! Yikes! When is too early to beginning the holiday cheer? My room mates freaked out on me the other day when "Jingle Bell Rock" played as my ring tone. Okay so maybe I am a little too excited for Christmas. I just can't help it. If you go into a store like Target or Macy's you will see Christmas decorations and occasionally hear a little Christmas Carol played over the loud speaker. I am interested to hear what others think about Christmas in November. I for one am so excited for the most wonderful time of the year!

I don't think there is a "too early" for Christmas!! I do however don't like when I hear constant christmas music in stores starting November first because then I end up getting burnt out on it and then I'm sad because then my Christmas spirit is gone. =[ But once the weather turns cold, you can't help but getting in the Christmas mood. I've already had like 5 conversations with people about how we can't wait for Christmas!! I can't believe how fast its coming!
Christmas is never too early for me but it does seem weird to listen to carols when the sun is shining brightly! This is why I postpone listening to Christmas music until the cold winter temperatures set in.
For some reason the harsh winds do help realize that Christmas is not too far away. I have already started playing Christmas music in my room and also there are two countdowns going on (in my computer and dry erase board). Most people in my floor also can't wait for Christmas so there is always someone singing carols in the shower!
I liked how you added your personal experience...it made the entry more real as I can relate to it. Nice Work!!!
I personally love the Christmas/holiday season because of the spirit of all the people and decorations. However, I need to wait a while before I go all out and start listening to Christmas music and such because like fashiongirl said I do not want to burn out and get bored. It’s nice that people start getting ready for the holidays around Thanksgiving but Wow! That is really early. I like to do my shopping early like around Thanksgiving but I could never put up decorations or start singing until there’s about two weeks to go until Christmas. Have fun when the time does come around though.
This is one thing that really bugs me. I hate it when you walk into a store in October and there is a large lit-up Santa smiling at you. I agree Christmas is the best holiday by far, but I think it needs to be saved for December to make it that much better. I liked the blog, very good topic that is sure to get a lot of comments on.
