#022: Christmas is not now.

November 3rd, 2008 by Mary Leong

Currently listening to: “Garçon” – Koxie

I was in the mall last Friday afternoon, frantically scrabbling for bits and pieces for my Halloween costume. Alack, guess what starts playing in Sears?

SILVER FREAKING BELLS.

Yes.

“Silver bells, silver bells. It’s Christmas time in the city.”

NO, IT IS NOT.
It was October then; it’s November now.
And I still say it’s too bloody early to be banging out those damned Christmas ditties.

And on that same note, I’ve some things to say about the whole ridiculous “Happy Holidays” politically-correct business, but let’s save that rant for some time closer to Christmas, how about?

    I totally agree: let’s save the elevator music for later!
