Now, you have to understand that this statement is coming from a nearly-nutty Christmas Lover. I loooove Christmas. I love the sights, smells, shopping (yes), wrapping, cooking, eating (YESSSS), fellowship and above all - using my energy to focus this time on the gift of Jesus Christ.
HOWEVER, forgive me, Lord:
I WON'T START THE HOLIDAY SEASON THE FRICKIN DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN!
Nooooooo NONONONONONONOOOO NO NO NO NO NO.
I am totally with Charlie Brown: Christmas is TOO COMMERCIAL.
And speaking of commercials, I am already seeing snow-filled, red and green, consumer-targeted Christmas commercials on TV! DON'T YOU MAKE ME STOP WATCHING TV, JERKFACES!
Sorry for all the yelling, but I'm ticked, man.
I adore Fall. It's my over all favorite season. As much as I enjoy Christmas, it's not the same if it didn't follow a gorgeous Autumn with the orange, red and brown hues...the smell of the earth cooling off...darkness falling early, bidding us inside to cozy down with quilts, knee-high socks and hot cider.
Look, retards. You shop all you want. Gear up. Decorate early. Get started. GO AHEAD.
I'm going to stroll underneath the falling leaves, breathing deeply, smiling up at the crisp, cool sky and focus on stuffing myself with pumpkin pie and turkey.
Wanna stroll with me? You don't know what you're missing.
(Hypocrite's)UPDATE: Just came from Target. First department visited? Christmas Trees. With a huge smile on my face. Dang!!

CLEARLY I sent you that pic a FEW days after halloween.
It is november, and we SHOULD be enjoying the fall leaves and pumpkin scents and cold winds...
however, by picture and retail standards, it is open season and Christmastime is fair game.
heeheehee
