Words of the wise (nov 5); Put up the tree, then the eggs.

I woke up bloated with candy, legs hurting from walking, well actually I did not go tricker treating, I went to a trunker treat, and handed out candy to kids. Any way I woke up with one thought in my mind; Halloween is over that means all the stores are getting ready for Christmas. I walked downstairs and turned on the TV, the 2006 cars were going from 21,000 and up, it was like some sick joke played on me. Everything was going faster then it should have been going! I was sucked into the world of tacky slave made goods, and over hyped Christmas gifts!
This is a good question 2006 cars, why 2005? Is this having anything to do with the fact that in the womb babies have sprits but are still not born yet? Is it like car companies giving birth in 2006 only pregnant in 2005? This happens with more then cars, June 10th school is out, so we need to print pictures of school busses on our tissue boxes.
“Ok it’s the Monday after Easter, everybody you know what this means. Mandy, you forgot to string the bats! Joe more costumes in the windows!”
“Can we not have one day, just one of rest after Easter?”
“No somebody may want to buy Halloween candy six months before the holiday!”
I am the kind of person who these pre, pre, hyped things are wasted on, infect the day after Halloween, Christmas, Easter, I go running up and down the discount isles buying everything at half price so I will have it for next year. I think this is the opposite of what they want to accomplish, but I love it. Those are my shopping days, get it quick, get it cheep, and get out! The stores hate me, but I give them money and they can not complain about that.
I miss the days when we had holidays, lots of them. New Years, Valentines Day, Easter, my birthday, Canada Day or 4th of July, Labor day, Thanks Giving (Canada) Halloween, Reemergence Day or Veterans Day, Thanks Giving (US), Christmas and New Years Eve. These are just a small few; there are holidays for every day of the year! I did not even begin to talk about Hanukah, Passover, Kwanza, and all the others! Out of the 14 or so machined only 3 or 4 maybe 5 have made commercial success. Ok maybe people have “Special Sales” or something but only some have gotten real big!
Ok so I ranted about holidays and cars, but what about season change? Did every company just forget that school starts in September? I mean I don’t even like school busses, even when I was in school I never rode them when I could avoid it. And this is just the beginning, any thing that can be hyped will be hyped, and almost anything can. Just like the super bowl is hyped about for about 2 months before and after the event, someday marbles will be two. Televised poker, yeah that will sell a lot of chips and dips!
I would like it if major events happened about every 4 months and they stayed for 1-2 weeks, not the duration or the full 4 months! You can get in evolved write you congress person lobbying them to change the laws of commercialization of holidays, keep in mind they are more likely to answer if you include your bank number or credit card.
