This Christmas Creep phenomenon is starting to annoy a lot of people and I am one of them. I have seen Christmas decorations up in October and one radio station last year started Christmas music before, yes before, Halloween! This year they decieded to wait until November at least.
Now stores are opening up on Thanksgiving. First it was 6am on "Black Friday", then it was 4am, followed by Midnight and now 10pm on Thanksgiving and even 9pm.
Why not start on the Fourth of July?
Anthony Hardwick on Omaha, Nebraska started an on line petition to keep his employer of Target from joining the madness. The ultimate barometer will be if they draw any business.
This is the kind of thing that turns people off to Christmas. This is not what the holiday is supposed to be about.
Come on, America. Get some sort of tenuous grip on reality, get your priorities straight and enjoy Thanksgiving.
