I'm going to avoid it at all costs until at least mid-December. Did you know there's a group on FB based around avoiding The Little Drummer Boy? Once you've heard it, you're out of the running. Very funny.<br /><br />I hate that song.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-79967792647658846542011-11-20T15:40:39.144-06:002011-11-20T15:40:39.144-06:00So I guess I won't be getting a fruit cake fro...So I guess I won't be getting a fruit cake from you. <br />Well, I'll take my expectations elsewhere Missy :)Rick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-40693456528977988082011-11-20T11:53:43.807-06:002011-11-20T11:53:43.807-06:00"...unreasonable expectations people put on t..."...unreasonable expectations people put on themselves..." Ain't that the truth. We work ourselves into a frenzy this time of year. I'm already anxious that I haven't got my lists together yet!<br /><br />Some folk put their xmas lights up already. That makes me crazy--poor Thanksgiving, can we give it a little breathing room? <br /><br />The commercial aspect of holidays is suffocating--one of the big reasons I stay away from the TV and toss the onslaught of catalogs into the trash. ;)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694559900539722616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-25371026627053535942011-11-20T07:42:48.450-06:002011-11-20T07:42:48.450-06:00Hm, I think you got drawn in, just a little.

It's just ridiculous. And made worse by the sluggish economy, so that now retailers can't even wait for "Black Friday," but are offering up sales & special deals this weekend, events that I don't remember starting so early in years past.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-67537738163648957892011-11-19T21:22:27.826-06:002011-11-19T21:22:27.826-06:00i do not like the 'full-court press' as yo...i do not like the 'full-court press' as you put it either. everything is too commercialized and everyone is too expectant to get everything they want. and i hate the 'forced' aspect of having to buy gifts for folks too. eek! i'm sounding mighty bah humbugish!TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.com
