granted, time is flying by this year, but i was shocked this weekend when i went to starbucks and found christmas had beaten me there and had already thrown up all over the store. there were ornaments, garland, christmas music & the red christmas coffee cups everywhere. i passed this event off as the starbucks marketers trying to get ahead of the holiday rush and maximize profits (how you maximize profits by decorating your stores early i am not sure, but let's go with it for now). later than night we were driving to dinner at vespaio with our dear friend trevor (thanks again, trev!), and congress already had the traditional metallic garland things (i am not sure what they are or their official name) hanging across the road. it is way too early for christmas. christmas is about tradition, and tradition dictates that christmas does not start until the day after thanksgiving. not the night of thanksgiving, but friday morning.
having typed this entry, i noticed that thanksgiving is next week....time flys!
ps-for those of you offended by my use of the word christmas rather than the pc word holidays: i have great respect for all different types of holiday celebrations that occur this time of year. however, as an american i celebrate thanksgiving and as a catholic i celebrate christmas.

traditions are made to be broken, although i do agree that all the early christmas decorations are a bit much.
