OK we are three dayout from Thanksgiving, officially at the beginning of the Christmas season but I'm looking forward to it being over already. Today at the laundromat I hit my limit of Christmas as all they played on the radio was nothing but Christmas music. I'm tired of it already, loosing interest in putting up the decorations, don't want to see anything related on TV, can do with out the activites. I should be more accepting of the holiday having the Jr. mechanic to relive my childhood again, remembering how excited I used to get not able to wait for the chance to rip open the first gift. Am I turning into the "get off my lawn" guy? I know I don't have much faith in most of the human population but I shouldn't be looking at the holiday the same way. Or do I just hate the forced upon holiday music & advertising? There's my rant. If I earned some insults tossed at me for this rant go for it, guess I deserve it. :rant::rant::rant::rant::rant:

You sure get a pass from me. The entire Cristmas season has turned into MONEY TIME even at the cost of most companies and TV networks swap the word holiday instead of Christmas. That's total BS.

You're okay by me. I'm the same way. The religious part of the holiday is the only thing I care about anymore. The rediculous shopping and spending that goes on this time of year just makes me sick. Maybe I'm a little too cynical, but I'm not playing into the commercialization.

But at the same time, I'm sure your kid is excited for Santa Claus and presents so don't ruin it for him. Let him believe in Santa as long as you can, because Christmas just isn't as fun when your parents are the ones putting the presents under the tree.

My ******* aunt and ******* uncle told their two kids "Santa wasn't real" when they were 3 and 4 years old. Well, one of them got pregnant at 15 and the other is a heroin addict, so you can see how well that worked out for them.

Personally, I aspire to be the "get off my lawn" guy.

When l was young it all fell in a row, Your parents took you to Xmas Eve at the Church while sharing what the meaning of Xmas is, but back then you would see "In God We Trust" on money an in Schools!

Now it's only for the kids that still believe in Santa. Now it all about money an what we give an get! I want something l'll go buy it, they never get it right anyways, 😁!

My kids live hours away an spread out over Canada, so in order to not upset anyone it's easier to stay home an just send money. So Grinch, ******* l'll be!!!

As a mailman, all it means to me is endless forced overtime and no time for anything else. I'll take this opportunity to say SCREW YOU AMAZON!
