I love Christmas. But I hate, hate, hate hearing Christmas music right after Halloween. I mean, come on - it's like as soon as Halloween is over, everyone is focusing on the next big holiday. But hello - Thanksgiving comes BEFORE Christmas. Thanksgiving, to me, is a sacred, reverent holiday...a time of reflection and gratitude. But I hate when I go to the grocery store and they're playing Christmas music when Thanksgiving is still a couple of weeks away! I get that they're trying to "set the shopping mood" but it just makes me want to run out of the store screaming, "Not yet! Not yet! I can't stand it!" If I hear Christmas music on the radio I can just roll my eyes and turn the station. But when I'm shopping - grocery shopping, for crying out loud - and it's everywhere I go, it just drives me crazy.
Let me just enjoy fall and look forward to Thanksgiving. But then the day after Thanksgiving, bring on all the Christmas craziness!

I agree! I want to enjoy every season and not always be rushing through the present to get to the future. Thanksgiving is such a special time of year, let's focus on it!!
