Retailers started putting Christmas decorations out after Labor Day. Killing me!!!! My Pastor said the other day that in a couple of years there will not be a Thanksgiving. That is not right. We live and a society that is consumer driven and does not really know how to be grateful and thankful anymore. That is a different blog for a different day.
I have some Holiday rules that I wanted to share that I institute in my life through this Season. I am a traditionalist at heart and love adding new traditions to my life every year. Here are my rules....
The Christmas season does not begin until after I have seen Santa Claus on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
I do not listen to Christmas music until the Friday after Thanksgiving.
We put up Christmas decorations the first weekend in December, not any sooner.
I can not drink a white peppermint mocha from Starbucks until the say after Thanksgiving.
I do not start watching Christmas movies until the Monday of December.
We will only go see one Christmas movie in the theaters all season long.
I believe that Christmas has become all about Consumerism and not about what it is really about. I will share some more thoughts on that in a later blog. I put these rules in my life so that I enjoy every season and do not miss anything that it offers. I hope you and your family are gearing up to have a great Thanksgiving.
