As I said in another thread, when I heard Christmas music being played in Walmart in day before Halloween...well, I looked like this... It annoys me when stores push the holiday season too far. Yes, I understand exactly why they do it - that's probably why I dislike it so much. As a beloved American cartoon character once said in regards to Christmas and commercialism
“I think there must be something wrong with me, Linus. Christmas is coming, but I’m not happy. I don’t feel the way I’m supposed to feel. I just don’t understand Christmas, I guess. I like getting presents and sending Christmas cards, and decorating trees and all that, but I’m still not happy. I always end up feeling depressed.
And then of course, for those of you who love A Charlie Brown Christmas as much as I do
you know that Linus tells Charlie Brown what Christmas is all about by quoting scripture.
I love reading about everyone's traditions. What about trees? Do you put up a real tree or an artificial tree?
