It’s November. November means no more costumes and no more of those fantastic Halloween movies on Disney Channel. Now, you’d think as a country that was founded on freedom and giving thanks, that we would actually focus on those two things after the Halloween festivities, but nah. Let’s skip all of that boring stuff and just focus on Christmas, where people ask for things they’ll never get, and only focus on themselves. Seems legit, right? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure you’re skipping an entire month. But, eh. Who cares?
Alright, so it’s a September afternoon, and you’re walking into Hobby Lobby to find some mighty fine decorations for your house, but what do you see? Three whole aisle just devoted to Christmas ornaments? Like, what even? Halloween hasn’t even happened yet! It’s not even October! At first you’re mad, but after you see them, you completely forget what you came there for, and get really excited after realizing that Christmas is coming up soon. At this point, you have now become a part of the group of people who solely devote their lives to Christmas for a solid four months, and completely ignore everything else. But it’s your life, man. Do whatever you want.
And there’s one thing, that should not actually be a thing, and it’s Christmas music the day after Halloween. November literally just started, and all of those pumpkins in your yard have magically turned into Christmas lights overnight. And all of those radio stations you listen to on the way to work, have changed from regular everyday music to carols and Christmas themed music. Shouldn’t human beings be granted the right to turn on the radio and listen to something that doesn’t involve chestnuts roasting on an open fire? At least give them the choice to not listen to Christmas carols.
Now, I’m not trying to be all bah humbug, but I’m just saying that we, as people, should focus on other stuff besides Christmas in November. Or October, for that matter.
