My 2 year old daughter exclaimed, "Ho Ho Ho!!! Happy Halloween!" last night.
It was so cute that we all had a good chuckle about it.
However, we were a bit perturbed. Colleen turns to me and says, "this is what's wrong with our society. We are so over commercialized. It's not even Halloween yet and we are already hearing about Christmas."
You know. She's right. Let's skip Halloween and Thanksgiving and go straight for Q4 BUY BUY BUY SHOP TILL YOU DROP OMGWTFBBQ SALES!!!! X-Mass extravaganza.
This might be an ironic stance for me to take as I work for a major etailer, but still. I want to be able to enjoy Fall and Halloween, upcoming Birthdays (Gabe and my sister in law Amy), Thanksgiving before I have to worry about selling all my blood plasma to try to afford to buy presents for people, who already have everything that they NEED.
Trick or (Humbug) Treat everyone!
