CHRISTMAS BELONGS IN DECEMBER
We all know there’s a reason,
For stretching out the season,
It’s very clear, no discretion implied,
The market knows what sells,
They ring Pavlov’s Christmas bells,
Knowing we will open up our wallets wide,
Christmas is swell,
Carols and bells,
But bloody hell,
It’s only mid-November,
Christmas time belongs in December!
Sure I like the lights,
All those funny elves in tights,
Food and toys and candy on each shelf,
Peace, goodwill and all that stuff,
You know I just can’t get enough
But I’d rather wait until month number twelve

Daniel and I went to our local IKEA in September and they already had some Christmas displays up. Lights and decorations and stuff. Doubtless they’ve put up even more by now.
We did buy some wrapping paper. It was so cheap we couldn’t resist. 😊
I don’t mind stretching into January, but yeah. December and half of January is enough. Stay out of my month! 😉
Even Milkface called bullshit last night on this ridiculous practice. Retail, you were taken downtown by a six year-old who is a whore for presents.
