chanter1944This post brought to you by working as a customer service rep during November's latter half and all of December, plus the general takeover of radio and television by sleigh bells, kitchy lyrics, and exhortations to celebrate the seeeeeason with this, that, and the other. :s Seriously.

I don't intend to dunk on Christmas the actual holiday. I'm fine with both religious and secular observances. I just wish it were a lot less in one's face. For two months.

We went to Cracker Barrel for Samhain supper. Their gift shop was all Christmas stuff. In October. It was very disorienting.
