V.D. Over, Xmas Now Here To Stay

Sure we've seen an Xmas-oriented advert or two on the real telly, but Hallowe'en is now history (It's a ghost!) V.D. has come & gone & turkeys day are just around the corner (Why do you think we stay inside as much as possible?) & this was FEATURED on YouTube, so we gave it a listen.Prior to the Civil Rights Act, there sure as hell was no room at the Holiday Inn (IYKWWM, & WTYD) for certain sorts of people.

As usual we're not the only one who's noticed the creep (No, not Santa.):
The worst part of "Christmas creep"? It tramples decorative gourd season
Absolutely. One (non-holiday) quibble:
On a balmy Saturday morning this past September, I went to Ikea to buy a new desk for my daughters. I knew Ikea on a Saturday would be nightmarish enough, but what I hadn’t expected was that it would be holiday nightmarish.
One desk, two daughters? Scarred for life.

Other than that, the item is a lament for the fall which is being pushed out, gourds & all, by Xmas. We guess people from the parts of the world w/ seasons (Savage heathens all.) will tear up for a moment at the thought of what they're missing.

Nope. No trees, no creche, no zombie babie, no la la la, no ho ho ho, I'm in for drinking, eating and farting and whatever gifts people are deluded enough to give me because I'm not spending more than five bux per person, it's tee shirts and coffee mugs with funny slogans all the way down...

Cheap Bastard Editor:
You getting 3 for $9.99 T-shirts? You may be in for a shock if you think you can find coffee mugs for less than five bones either.

We find that cards or letters claiming a charity donation has been made in someone's name are fun to compose & print, especially if you can send them free from work.
