Getting on the Christmas Bus
When does the Christmas season start? When I was a little girl it started on December 13th. Nothing Christmasy (OK…you spelling purists…I know that isn't a word…get over it) started prior to the “12 days of Christmas”. Today it would seem, that the Christmas season officially kicks off at the Hobby Lobby in August. Christmas is well represented in September in all the big box stores. Lest we forget, Christmas and commercialism go hand and hand, these days….so on the outside chance you aren't aware of it…THERE'S ONLY 44 SHOPPING DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS.
Why am I bringing up the subject of “when does the Christmas season really start” you ask? (If you aren't asking…too bad…I am going to tell you anyway.)
I am a veteran of corporate moves. Having moved 21 times while my husband climbed the corporate ladder while dragging me up… rung by rung over the course of our 40+ year marriage. I used to delude myself into thinking
that I was middle-age but now realize that I would have to live to be 116 to justify that term. If wisdom comes with age, I am wiser than some, older than many, and more cynical than most. My blog is to jot down the nonsense I
see, hear and think about while I still have all my faculties working.
