Last night as the trick n treaters went door to door and the magickal night came to an end I looked at my decorations and sighed. I wondered silently to myself about just leaving all my Halloween/Samhain decorations up and just putting my Christmas/Yule decor up and maybe shove a blow up turkey for Thanksgiving in the mix.
Then I thought hmm I should add some hearts and leprechauns too. Better yet some Easter/Ostara decorations too. I mean why not. The stores are doing it. Maybe they (the stores) will see how incredibly stupid it is to pile all the holidays on top of each other.
Every year it gets worse and worse. Halloween and Thanksgiving didn't even happen yet and Christmas stuff was in stores.
At this point I am thinking of not even shopping at any stores that are opening on Thanksgiving for any gifts. I am thinking of just buying my gifts online or making some. I feel this is really getting out of hand.
People rushing from having Thanksgiving dinner with their family to run to a store to shop for gifts. As the rich get richer the employees don't get paid that much extra to work. It is all about the greed of the stores sadly.
Each year I get more disgusted. Then you get a sales employee that says we have some great Christmas stuff out. My reply well that is nice but I don't shop for Christmas before Halloween and certainly not until after Thanksgiving. The employee will then say but it may not be there when you want to shop. I said I know you will be putting Spring stuff out before December is even over. The employee will say well then you may want to shop early. I say no then I will shop online with small businesses who care about family and sales. Employee just shakes head.
Yes it has happened more then once. I have a number of online businesses that I love. This year I may shop at them all.
