Although I said otherwise on Twitter, a bit of thought made me realize that the issue isn't so much with Christmas coming early. Instead, the whole commercial aspect of Christmas is something I'm just exhausted with. Starting the first or second week in November through the end of December, we're just bombarded with ads reminding us that we need to buy lots of stuff or we will fail to express our love for the people around us, and that message gets really wearing pretty fast. So it's pretty much always too early for the start of that kind of message.

I don't think it's too early, I just think it's been done to death. We've had this same stupid, commercial holiday for the past 80 years or so. It's so old hat, I don't even notice anymore. Thank God Hagan was elected. This will be the last Christmas before it gets abolished Great video Ginny! I don’t think it’s too early, I just think it’s been done to death.

I have an entire Christmas village that I put up. It's a lot of work, but it's so adorable. But some people say Nov. 1 is fair game for decorating.
