An Open Letter

[elfie_chan]

Dear People of America:

It is August. Christmas isn't for another FOUR MONTHS. I am not Martha Stewart, and I haven't even started thinking about to whom I am sending Christmas cards. Knock it off, already.

Sincerely,
Me

And no one on God's green earth needs a singing fish!
We had Billy bass on year. I could have committed crimes that could get me in big trouble. ::shudder::
I agree the holiday would be great if commercialization wasn't involved, and if my family would chill out.

I hate that fish. I think I hate the singing deer even more, though. I generally detest all movement-activated singing/dancing/rapping/chirping/belching/whatever holiday-related things.

Family can be a bit stressful during the holidays, too. *nodnods*

Oh, there's this silly, silly, silly woman I work with who brings in this singing snow man EVERY YEAR! It drives me batty!

And yes, commercialization of major holidays is Teh Suck. Makes it feel less like a holiday and more like a 'shop til you drop and don't feel guilty' spree.

I mean, the folks here at my job now have to work on the holidays so people can buy their new flashy over-priced cars.
