[No_Mercy]

I totally agree that the stores are pushing this Christmas thing to the point it is having the opposite effect on people. The only reason they do it is to try and squeeze more money by extending the season. It is making me and most everyone I know, totally SICK of Christmas and ruining it. We are dreading it more and more every year mostly due to the insane commercialism. Every year I do less and less (and BUY less and less). I hate going into stores that cram Christmas down our throats.
