“people all over the world, join hands, join the bah-humbug train, the bah-humbug train” . . . it’s too early people!!!
okay so i know if you’re in america and are like over the age of thirty-five, seeing christmas decorations before the macy’s thanksgiving day parade (or the mummers if you’re in philly) well let’s just say it makes us feel our age shall we?
and yeah, i know times are different now
and stores, malls and town councils all have these strident bills to pay and staff to hire/pay, blah, dee, blah, blah, blah . . .
but still, i always thought the jolly fellow in the red suit was out rounding up volunteer reindeer in november, you know ‘boning’ up as it were, not decorating malls
oh well, i guess this collective of “old farts” – myself included – will have to get used to it . . . it’s been happening for years now you know, creeping christmas disease i call it
so, being a devout believer in the old axiom “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” . . .
let me be the first to wish you all a happy christmas!!!
peace
