Is Santa Claus a veteran?

Went into town to run a few errands today. One place had Christmas music going, another was selling plastic Christmas trees, and the third place had Christmas kotchy botchy everywhere. I don't get it. It's Veteran's day, not Christmas. For Christ's sake (or Buddha's or Krishna's for that matter) it's not even Thanksgiving yet. I'm confused- is Santa a vet?

(And for those of who who will claim I'm being a curmudgeon, my first thought was to name the thread "Fuck Santa". I think I practiced some very astute discretion. :lol: )

    I have to say (as a non-religious or holiday-gift-giving person [hello, fellow curmudgeon!]), I LOVE Christmastime...not to mention Thanksgiving.

    The lights and the scents and the weather...some of the music too.

    And the food!

    Oh man. It's all just so warm, and comforting. Like virtual flannel.

    That said, just awhile ago when I went home for lunch, they ran that fucking Hershey's Kisses Christmas commercial.

    TOO EARLY.

    Honestly Xmas time is my favorite time of the year. Most people are nice to each other. Get to see family. Get to give gifts to friends/family.
    I dont think we should go as overboard as we do on the holiday and part of that is letting the holiday season start a week or so before the holiday. Not on Veterans Day!

  • there was christmas stuff in stores here before fucking halloween had even passed. it's the same as school supply commercials-it's getting earlier every year. pretty soon the kids will be getting walmart fliers with a sale on pencils stapled to their report cards.

  • I look forward to christmas more than ever now that I have kids. But it's still TOO FUCKING EARLY. Wait until Remembrance Day is done.

    Fuck you Santa. Have some respect.

  • I am not sure if this is in the same realm, but I hate the push of seasonal beer too. I do not want oktoberfest beer at the end of July or begning of August, I also do not want sprin beers in January. They push that shit early now too. I like my beer to be in season not the season before.

    I have a neighbor down the road the put a digital "countdown to xmas" clock in their yard ... 3 weeks ago! That's just downright disrespectful to the Pagans and their holiday.

    Thanksgiving: The Officially Forgotten Holiday. The corporate gods can't make money off of the holiday (same with Veteran's Day) so why not start playing "holiday" music on Halloween? (they did in the local mall!) :x
