I absolutely refuse to do anything Christmas related until AFTER Thanksgiving.

It seems that the entire world gets so wrapped up in the commercial side of Christmas, and forgets what it is really supposed to be about.

Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas. But, if I had to choose, Thanksgiving would be my favorite holiday...hands down. Thanksgiving is about spending time with family and friends. No one "expects" presents. It is just a time to give thanks for everything you have.

Christmas has gotten to the point where if you don't get a 2nd (or 3rd) mortgage on your house to buy your kid all the CRAP that they will play with for a week, then you are not a good parent. We buy or child 2 or 3 things, and try to teach her what Christmas is REALLY about.

Sorry for the post...getting off my soapbox now.
