Ever since before Labor Day we have been bombarded with Christmas hoopla at Costco. It was especially disturbing to see Halloween, Thanksgiving, AND Christmas decor all at once. Here is what I find strange. Last week we made the trip to Costco to garner up food stuffs for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. This was December 22.
What was shocking to me was upon entering Costco there was no sign of Christmas anywhere. No trees, no wrapping paper, no home decor, no candy canes, nothing. What is going on? No sign of Christmas just a couple of days before the big holiday? Why are we subject to Christmas at Labor Day and not during the actual season?
On Christmas Day I was tuning into the yule log channel (yes, there is such a thing) and a commercial came on that stated, "Now that the holidays are over......"
Wait. It's Christmas Day. We are smack dab in the middle of the holidays.
We are so busy hyping the holiday that when it's here nobody is actually enjoying the moment.
So yes, the war on Christmas is a real thing. Halloween and Thanksgiving are leading the charge. Labor Day is blowing the bugle.
