@Annabellethecat66,What i meant is, are you done shopping yet?I thought that was clear.

Until the week of Christmas, the last day that Fedex, UPS or USPS “guarantees” (hahaha) delivery by Xmas Eve, or Xmas Day for the truly desperate.

There are other shopping channels to watch, but..oh wait - they’re also showing Xmas gifts nonstop - just as malls are decorated now, Xmas tree lightings start this weekend, stores are decorated and will soon start to play Xmas music if they aren’t already.

If people truly wish to avoid all references to Xmas until Dec 1st, they will need to leave their TVs, radios and electronic devices turned off until then and hibernate in their homes, not even venturing into the local supermarket. Other than that - it’s everywhere, QVC doesn’t have a monopoly. Doesn’t the Hallmark Channel start their nonstop Xmas movies in September/October?

OMG.  Last year we rescued a male cat.  Such a sweetie and he never touched the tree or any other decorations.  This past summer we took in another cat our neighbors didn't want.  She is a climber and very, very curious.  I can't imagine what she will do to my new tree and beautiful ornaments.  I'm truly worried.

Christmas has become to commercialized.  All the commericals on t.v., magazine,books by the time christmas does roll around people are numb worn out by just the thought of christmas.

I agree that Christmas has bevome too commercialized BUT to complain about a "shopping channel" focusing too much on Christmas - really?  I suspect that all shopping channels make their most money during this time of year.  One poster mentioned doing "other things" than watching TV - maybe that is a good idea.

No thanks...that is even worse....then it is the Nutri Systems, exercise equipment, and beauty "new You"

shows...ugh....rather see Christmas items!!

[sunshine45]

i am enjoying every moment of the holiday season so far......and i am always ready to begin early. i enjoy the music, the holiday shows, my dvds, the hustle and bustle, the planning, the preparation, the decoration, the fun and laughter. i hope to savor the next month and a half.

WHAT? tired of Christmas? It has only been talked to death and repeated on for 5 months now. Seriously crazy. 

Have to agree about the shows right after the holidays - ” new you “ with dieting and exercising, their boring enough to make you really want some M&M’s or a Margarita!! The “get everything organized” shows are  a real treat too. Oh, almost forgot, the clearance shows of all the fabulous leftovers that did not sell or are holiday returns...

Seriously, not seeing much of anything that time of year.

yesterday, I thought....and before you know it, it'll be Christmas in July!! WhooHoo.

If you can't beat them @Annabellethecat66, there's only one thing to do and that's to join in it.  LOL.  

I'm not shopping and don't watch shows that lead to buying.  I'm 100% with the season through music. My choice. It's all a choice on what we put ourselves through.  No stress. Try it for one day, stress free, and see if you want more days like that. Choice.
