So they had another couple of Christmas specials on last night. Shrek the Halls (yeah, I didn't make that up) and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I think they're going to run out of specials before we're even close to the Big Day. On that note, isn't it a bit of a letdown? I mean, we spend close to 4 months (if you go by the store's schedule of marketing) building up to Christmas. I'm talking decorations and songs and overdoses of nostalgia and then December 25th roles up and BAM! gone. Nothing. The big thrill is over without any gradual weaning from the holly and poinsettia. It's like Christmas is a drug and everyone has to quit cold turkey. Make sense, probably not. Pretty much as soon as 12/25 is over, everything shuts down, the songs stop, the decorations come down and the only thing to look forward to is the after-Christmas clearance sales and credit card bills. Am I the only one noticing this?

Makes TOTAL sense to me. I hate the day after Christmas. It's always such a downer...like oh....Christmas is over...now what? Couldn't agree with you more. Christmas has turned into this commercialized crap I can't stand. BAHH Humbug!
