Onesome: Christmas-- Is it Thanksgiving? ...or just the day before the start of the "Christmas Season"? (...and how are you supposed to shop if you're all stuffed with food?) Hey, is anyone going out tomorrow to save tons of money standing in endless lines with 10,000 of your closest friends? Just curious...
Excuse me for a sec.
Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
Ahem.
Christmas itself is fine, but the Christmas season is a total headache. About a month ago (yes, even before Halloween), one of the local radio stations stopped playing regular music and started playing Christmas music. All the time. Lucky for me, there's more than one radio station out here in the boondocks, but still, it irks me to no end simply because it exists.
And I'm not going out tomorrow to buy anything. The traffic itself, I'll imagine, would be enough to scare curdled milk.
Twosome: Bells-- Okay, we'll give in and admit that maybe the season has started: what decorations are you looking forward to seeing in the next few days? ...the lights in the downtown? How about knowing you'll soon have a tree with that memorable ornament? The Toys for Tots drop off? What makes you comfortable knowing the Christmas season is really here?
I don't really care one way or another about the decorations. As far as I'm concerned, the Christmas season had already invaded with that darn radio station. And the extensive Christmas music section that has suddenly invaded the local bookstore a couple weeks ago.
Threesome: are Ringing-- ...in your ears? What song are you just dreading to hear this season? Come on, the one that just makes you scrunch up inside and want to duck into an iron foundry so you can't hear it? Weird Al? Something from "The Nutcracker"? Those dogs? I mean come on, there's some bad stuff out there ...
