For a while now it has seemed to me that Christmas keeps coming earlier and earlier. That is the trimmings, trappings and excessive garnish that is Christmas and not Christmas itself. Christmas still is the 25th of December, though you wouldn't think it's that far away in time. I wanted to keep a close watch to see if this is true. Here's what I've noticed:
- 31 October - Christmasland in Menards in Wisconsin already up and running, selling Christmas trees and other decorations.
- 05 November - First Christmas t.v. commercial observed (I don't watch too much t.v. so this is the first one I've seen).
- 15 November and 16 November - Christmas decorations and lighting going up on Michigan Avenue and the side streets of The Miracle Mile
- Also 15 November - roughly 20 percent of t.v. commerials have holiday themes
