14 November 2007
Dear mall and everyone inside it,
I don’t know if you’ve checked the calendar lately, but it’s only mid-November – A bit early to be decked out in Christmas gear and playing Christmas tunes, don’t you think? Halloween just finished and we still have a month and a half to go. I don’t appreciate you trying to prematurely release my Christmas spirit. IT’S NOT TIME YET, DAMMIT!
Love,
Chanel
PS – I’m one whole year older today, and still not sure if that’s a good thing or not.
Happy birthday! You can’t stay young forever ;)
I don’t understand how people can start Christmas in the beginning of November and not be sick and tired of it almost 2 months later when the actual day comes…
November 14th, 2007 at 7:57 pmThey always do that. So annoying. But there are early Christmas shoppers. I asked a customer how she’s going with her Christmas shopping and she said she’s only got two more things left. Early birds… Don’t they understand that Christmas sales happen later?
Happy birthday Chanel! :)
November 14th, 2007 at 8:18 pmHappy Birthday!
It seems like the stores decorate for Christmas a little earlier every year.
November 15th, 2007 at 12:32 amI walked into town, saw a Christmas tree, screamed, then walked back out of the shop again. It was more of an, “ARGH!” than an “AHHH!”. (I have no idea why I’m describing how I screamed to you…) Can’t they just wait a while?
Happy Birthday! Have a great day. :D
November 15th, 2007 at 12:42 amHappy birthday! Are we all bloggers born in November? Amber, Amanda, you, Shawna, me and more….
Well, in some places they start selling trees and and decoration items in early September. How’s that?
I do think they succeed at making people buy more and earlier though. Sheep, only sheep…
Reply: Yikes, September is WAY too early! And wow, I never realized how many bloggers were born in November…
November 15th, 2007 at 2:27 amHappy Birthday, dahling! Ha ha, I love Christmas! But two weeks ago, I was in Wal-Mart, and they were playing “Away in a Manger,” and it goes “The little lord Jesus lays down his sweet head…” And I shouted, “ARE WE ALLOWED TO SAY JESUS IN WAL-MART?!?!” And I got some weird looks. But seriously, we can’t say Jesus in school, why can we say it in Wal-Mart?
Reply: You can’t say Jesus in school?! WTF? That’s so messed up!
November 15th, 2007 at 7:45 amI can’t believe you yelled that in Wal-Mart. :P
HAPPPYYYYY BIRTHDAY! One year older, one year wiser!
Most the ads in the newspaper (Look at the Rogers ones in 24 Hours) and TV have turned Xmas-themed. It’s a bit early, I agree. I guess it’s a good feeling to have something to look forward to. I hope Vancouver gets a lot of snow this year =D
November 16th, 2007 at 10:26 pm[...] Malls don’t always follow this particular unwritten code, but this year, I think we can let them off the hook—with that whole economy thing going on, nobody can blame them for trying to pump out premature Christmas cheer in hopes of sustaining what should be their busiest time of year.
