I hate retail has become so commercial and greedy they don't allow us time to enjoy the present. Summer was over for the Q as of 1 July. I love summer and want to enjoy it. I want to enjoy the 4th of July w/o Christmas; Labor Day when it arrives. Let me celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving during their time. The entire month of Christmas can be celebrated in December.
I've lost the beautiful meaning of Christmas in July. If I'm in a frenzy to buy, buy, buy for Christmas, it undermines the meaning of Christmas for me.
