You and I are WAY too alike, especially for people who've never met.<br />Here in Australia we don't really do Halloween, although it's popularity is building with the huge influence of North American TV and movies, and so Christmas really does start in the shops in September. Another good reason to avoid big shops and shopping centres (malls)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241547765496354087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9531808.post-65873980942520643502009-11-15T19:13:21.588-06:002009-11-15T19:13:21.588-06:00I've been seeing Christmas merchandise in some...I've been seeing Christmas merchandise in some of the stores around here (in California) since August. *shudders in horror*<br /><br />And in the past week, I've already seen two or three houses decorated and their Christmas lights on at night.<br /><br />Now, I love Christmas lights. That's one of my favorite things about Christmas. But there's just something wrong about having them on before Thanksgiving.littlemissattitudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826943351455750612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9531808.post-58601637845648130402009-11-15T17:06:47.161-06:002009-11-15T17:06:47.161-06:00Thanks for the link!

I too have survived (and that is the real word for it) Retail Hell. I get that the economy has tanked and retailers are just desperate for people to spend money. I also get that when I lived by myself my Yule decorations started going up just before Halloween. :-) I would plan for two trees because the first one would be dead in the first part of December no matter how wet I would make it. <br /><br />I love Yule.. the smells and the flavors and the... all of it.... including the stupid commercials that you get tired of the third time you see them.<br /><br />So, I am sorry that you have to live through them too, but at least one person delights in them :-)Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9531808.post-20430192990892234472009-11-15T07:47:59.234-06:002009-11-15T07:47:59.234-06:00Thank you for this!
