Thanksgiving overun by Christmas rant, poll.


Nov 22, 2021, 7:49 AM

Thanksgiving has always been my fav holiday. You just get people together, pig out on a giant meal, nap, and watch TV. Christmas is my least fav holiday. It seems like even the most diligent people get caught up in overdoing things, commercialism, and stress. This year Christmas overflowed over Thanksgiving the earliest ever. Mrs No put up Christmas decorations last night. "I know you don't like it, but doing it all in one day after Thanksgiving is just to stressful" Apparently doing less is not a reasonable suggestion.


  Do you have any Christmas decorations out yet?    [Results]
 
Yes. OK by me.
Yes. It's an abomination.
Yes. Started when they showed up at Lowes
No. It's not even T-Day yet
No. We don't do that here.
No. One day soon whenever.
LOL, like I notice decorations

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
Isaac Asimov


Noticed it earlier last year too. Then I remember...

suspecting COVID might have had an influence. Not sure this year.

My wife and kids set up our tree this week and I put lights on yesterday. Lights always fall to me due to height. I let the kids and wife run the show after that.

I have voiced my opinion that we should put them up after Thanksgiving. Yet, there the lit tree stands.

I love Christmas, so it doesn't really bother me.

neighborhood had put up their Christmas lights this past weekend. It's never been that early....no clue what the motivations are or why it was so widespread, but the lights were nice to see.

When we were in Augusta prior to moving to Anderson...

I used to summon my inner Griswald and put out lights and stuff in the yard.

Haven't done it yet in Anderson, but there is a push in the neighborhood to get lights in every/most yards due to some house tour thing or something. Might be looking at a spot light on a nativity scene and call it a day.

I like riding around and looking at lights...don't like putting them up and taking them down.

Nov 22, 2021, 8:09 AM

Instead of fighting it this yr, I said, if you want to do it this early, you dont get my help.
She proceeded to put them up and then calls me a lazy pos for not helping.

ahhhh, marriage.
