Ok, can I just say that I will in no way, shape or form acknowledge that the so-called "holidays" are upon us...because they're not. Christmas is more than a month away so I'm putting my foot down. There will be no such talk of presents, eggnog or that fat man decked in red. Actually, there will be no talk of eggnog ever because ew.
Dry As Toast refuses to partake in such shenanigans until at least the day after Thanksgiving- when the rest of the country goes completely mad. And even then is pushing it.
UPDATE: You've got to be joking.

I agree! Well, except for the Egg Nog part. Egg Nog Egg Nog Egg Nog!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDoes it really taste good? I'm condemning the drink before I even try it because it just does not look appealing! At least in my head it doesn't...
ReplyDeleteI just posted about this very same thing earlier today. It's crazy, isn't it? The amount of Christmas stuff and lights on people's homes. Lights?! Already!!
ReplyDeletehaha me too
ReplyDeleteDear Lord lights?! Argh...
ReplyDeleteI went to Target yesterday and stuff is everywhere. I'm sorry, but I refuse.
I went to visit the fam yesterday and bearing through 30 minutes of one of the saddest holiday movies ever made (Jack Frost) on TV was more than enough.
mmmm egg nog! Gotta watch the fat in it though. I prefer my homemade over the store bought although Im thinking of trying the Silk brand this year. As for Christmas...I never really acknowledge it until Santa has mad his trip completely to the end of the Macy's Parade. Then and only then does the holiday music go on the the tree go up....assuming Im not having a "Bah HUMBUG" kinda year. Might not this year though as there's a possibility of snow where Im at now AND there's the fact hubby is on a new schedule this year which means for the first time in several years he'll actually have the day off. YAY!
ReplyDeleteWait, so how much fat are we talking about here?
ReplyDeletei have some bad news: i had told nat that i know xmas is coming cuz of the hess truck commercial... and... she called me last night to tell me she saw it.... heres the bad part: dk they changed the song!! ughh its like the remix and shit, k mierda!!
ReplyDeletei'm with you on the egg nog girl.
ReplyDeleteblehhh
I agree with you! However, I think the stores are having major sales right about now to get people SHOPPING!
ReplyDeleteWe will put up our little Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. Then the holiday season starts for us.
I completely agree. I'm putting my foot down, too! No acknowledgment of Christmas until AFTER the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you 100%!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate when I see Halloween good at stores in August or Christmas stuff before Halloween. Can't we just enjoy the season without feeling the pressure from Hallmark??
Anyway, I gave you something on my blog - I hope you'll like it.
xoxo
dama, that's when the holidays begin for me too...that's why I'm banning TV for a couple weeks. (They don't play the Hess truck commercial on the radio right?!) And ugh, why can't people leave perfectly good things alone?
ReplyDeleteblythe, hear hear!
sugarlens, and people buy into it thinking it's the only time they'll get such great deals...until the stores have 50 more of those between now and dec 25th. Oh and lets not forget about those after-Holiday sales. Schemers all of them.
snotty, hahaha! You might be onto something there. I mean, am I really going to see everyone before Christmas? So who's to say when I bought any of those presents.
maki, thanks for the award! And I wish people would just hold off for a bit longer. If you start celebrating now, won't you be sick and tired by the time it actually rolls around?
Word.
ReplyDelete(My town's already got the Christmas decorations hanging from the lights, and Christmas trees and decorations were available in ALL the craft stores BEFORE Halloween. The hell?!)
hehe the holidays is my excuse of wearing cute dresses i already got my new years one now i need christmas...but yeah i dont go holiday shopping till like 2 weeks prior to christmas that way you are a lil more certain the prices wont go down that low after you purchase stuff
ReplyDeleteHAPPY CHRISTMAS DR!!
ReplyDeletexxx :D
(Do get your point of view though. What even is eggnog?)
Amen. Let Christmass start 12 days before Christmas and no sooner!!
ReplyDeletetotally with you ...in fact, I'd like to bah humbug the whole thing this year and go right onto 2009!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I know, they start earlier and earlier every year!
ReplyDeleteHola... Just jumped over from Franco's blog! I wanted to say that here in France, they have Christmas stuff out in Oc/early Nov!!!!! And we don't celebrate Halloween OR Thanksgiving here (well, I do, the French don't). Imagine how strange it is for me... We don't have eggnog here.. But, Starbucks in Paris whips up a crème brulée latte over the holidays!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, btw! Take care, Leesa
they're singing deck the halls, but its not like christmas at all, cuz i remember when you were here, and all the fun we had last year...
