I can't remember the title, it's on a compilation DVD. Argh! <br /><br />I can't stand all of the decorations for holidays that used to be relatively undefiled: Easter, Halloween, St Patrick's Day, etc. And I'm equally appalled that all the crap starts showing up at retail 4 months prior to the actual holiday. I like what Nordstrom does - no Christmas decorations until Black Friday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-63579568815775072112010-09-26T15:20:53.365-04:002010-09-26T15:20:53.365-04:00Seconded!

Other holidays I don't care about or see the point in decorating for (other than a couple pumpkins on Halloween or a flag on the fourth), but Christmas is wonderful. Christmas movies, Christmas music, Christmas JOY... What's not to love? I'm one of the grouchiest people you could have the misfortune of meeting the rest of the year, but during the holiday season I'm all smiles and good will and cheer. BRING ON THE CHRISTMAS.
