Early Xmas

k_rock923 · 17th November 2003, 02:18

whats up with all the christmas going on? Its not even thanksgiving yet and there are xmas decorations all over the mall and fake snow and everything. there's even a radio station playing xmas music all the time. Is it like this everyhere? will the madness ever end?

ElChevelle · 17th November 2003, 02:30

It doesn't end on December 26th either.
Just goes on and on and on.......

.....and on

EnDurA · 17th November 2003, 02:34

It's just the media cashing in early on Christmas, they always do it, just that it always seems to get earlier and earlier each year

radio station playing Christmas music?

k_rock923 · 17th November 2003, 02:39

yea. there was even a commercial on TV for it. 102.7 switched from being a soft rock station to an xmas station. and my parents are always listening to it. i can't stand it.

WomanOfHeart · 17th November 2003, 02:59

Some of the stores here are already playing that awful Christmas Muzak! It just makes me cringe! Thanks a lot Target and King Soopers, for ruining the holidays before they even get here.

Mike H. · 17th November 2003, 03:03

I'm going to go ahead and say this before anybody complains about it. The use of Xmas does not take Christ out of Christmas. The X is an abbreviation of Χριστος, pronounced Christos, the Greek word which is the origin of the word Christ.

NJK · 17th November 2003, 03:57

hey k_rock see the attachment to get you into the mood

ShyShy · 17th November 2003, 04:03

I refuse to do anything with Christmas until after Thanksgiving. And I won't listen to Xmas music until 'mas Eve. When I go on vacation in February, it will kinda a late Xmas present to myself

It'll been awhile since I had that kind of time off.

sgtfuzzbubble011 · 17th November 2003, 04:14

My mom kept asking me what I wanted for Christmas. I kept telling her that I didn't really need anything, but she insisted on getting me something. So, I ended up picking out my Christmas present two days ago. It's a really nice black ****** jacket. I'll be damned if I can find a pic of it on the ****** site, though...

Mom's going to hold on to it until Christmas day, then I get it like a normal present. It's cool though, because I know that I'll like what I'm getting. That's actually better than not knowing what I'm getting (I'll appreciate whatever someone gives me, regardless of what it is though). My mom knows that I don't really need anything, but she wanted to get me something, so I picked out something that I would actually use. I also got her a nice watch that she said she wanted. Need to wrap that up soon.

And yeah, I couldn't stand all those radio stations playing Christmas music all the time even up to a month before the damn holiday even got here. I don't mind all the decorations around the mall and such, though.

s1138 · 17th November 2003, 04:17

i wait till after thanksgiving before even thinking about christmas. usually, but all the stores have christmas crap everywhere....my gf ofcourse, whos strange, has already wrapped all the presents she is gonna give people.
everyone always asks me what i want for christmas, but i dont want anything they would get me. so yeah..just whatever they feel i need.

EnDurA · 17th November 2003, 06:26

a new drum kit, and i'm set. perhaps some new cloths too

OutlawJim · 17th November 2003, 07:48

hehe...we used to listen to the christmas cd's once my sisters birthday was over, on the 2nd of october!

they arent out yet this year tho.

lil vixen · 17th November 2003, 12:12

I decorate for Christmas the day before Thanksgiving and leave them up till Jan 6th, WHy? Hell Idunno the kids love it, it makes everyone happier and they are pretty to look at. As for shopping, I am a last minute shopper fighting crowds on the Christmas Eve.

And I love Christmas Music, not the intrumental type but the real Christmas music!

Cylob · 17th November 2003, 12:40

My decorations went up last week (8 days ago in fact).

It's the centre of the jovial universe.

DJHotIce · 17th November 2003, 13:13

I was thinking of getting a sound board (yamaha I think) with those motorized sliders. But my mom says that too much. Well Looks like I gotta go to work then! (It's only about 300 on e-bay)

k_rock923 · 17th November 2003, 21:35

grrrrrr spaceplay.

my decorations go up sometime during the week after thanksgiving. usually we have a really big tree. but for some reason my parents want a really small one this year. oh well. i'll still be very happy. i'm more exctied about the ring i'm giving my gf than i am about what im getting.

DragonSon · 17th November 2003, 21:56

We won't be decorating this year simply because we never took them down from last year. I don't know why we didn't, we just never found the time to do it, I suppose.

Shenlong · 17th November 2003, 21:57

My decorations go up during December and go down during December...

Hell, I don't really decorate, really...I just put up some half-assed fake pine tree in my living room, throw a rug underneath, throw some flashy lights on, and that's it...Bah humbug!

Mike H. · 17th November 2003, 21:59

We put ours up the first or second week of December, and take them down right after New Year's Day. I won't be putting any up this year, though, because I'm in a dorm.

ElChevelle · 17th November 2003, 22:21

Speaking of early Xmas, my early gift came today in the form of a banning. I didn't get to push the big red button but enjoyed it as much as stuffing a blond's stocking

k_rock923 · 17th November 2003, 22:28

carbohidrat?

ertmann|CPH · 17th November 2003, 23:54

Christmas should be kept from December 1st, to the 26th.... and that's it - would make the thing a whole lot more enjoyable...

is Christmas eve the 24th or 25th of December in the US?

Shenlong · 17th November 2003, 23:56

Christmass Eve is the 24th, as the 25th is the actual day...

shenlong "scrooge"

In the Netherlands we have two days christmas.
eve on the 24 than 25 and 26 dec both christmas days.
no need to mention these are holidays fully payed if they happen to be on weekdays

decorations go up around 15 dec and go down on 2 or 3 jan
big fake three( can't have a real one with 2 dogs and 4 cats in the living room)
reminds me that we need to buy some stuff to decorate the tree, last year one of our cats jumped in the three and the whole damn thing went down, breaking most of the decorations.

MidnightViper88 · 24th November 2003, 23:21

A local park that's a 5 minute drive away from my house already put up their Christmass light decorations a week ago...Same thing with the Jefferson Mall and Oxmoor Mall, as they already have Pedo Clause lovin' on the kids this early already...

Madness, I tell you!
