I'm old. I remember when Christmas didn't hit the stores until the day after Thanksgiving. The true meaning of the holidays is lost. Christmas is for decorating your house with lights, reindeer, Santa Claus, and Frosty. It is for gift giving while the the most Precious Gift of all is lost among the commercials and sales.

From a grumpy old man's perspective. I still see houses decorated, trees all light up, kids excited about the holiday and gifts, family getting together to over eat. Just cause your Christmas sucks, doesn't mean everyone else's does.


Where the hell do you get off saying my Christmas sucks?
If you could comprehend what you read you would see that the comment was about the commercialisation of Christmas and all the other hollidays. Not one word was mentioned that pertained to my personnel Christmas except that to mention that Christmas used to start after Thanksbiving.

You are one on the reasons I find the OT less and less of a good place to be. You just like to attack. I hope everyone can see just what you are.

They only lose their original meaning if you allow it to happen, who care what stores do? Make the holidays what you want it to be and let the rest do their own thing.

I saw a Christmas tree and light sale in July this year (not at Walmart, at Big Lots)

I do like the Christmas music they play at the store: much better than what they usually play at Wmart

Not to mention, OK I'll mention it,
After Christmas sales. I mean, come on, Christmas is over already, but they advertise all the discounts and get there and nothing is really discounted.

Grandpa seriuosly you take that as a personal attack? I could make an attack over so many other things like your punctuation and the fact that it takes a lot of effort at times to even understand what the hell you posted! So when you were 9 Christmas was special, but after that everyone elses Christmas is spoiled by commercialism? People younger than you dont understand what holidays are about? Im no spring chicken myself and commercialization has been the norm since I was a young kid. Even to this day, I like going to the toy sections of stores to see what this years big toy is for sale this year (my kids are grown, I dont buy toys). So anyone younger than you can never enjoy what it was like at Christmas when you were 9? (The good ole days none of us will ever know?). Just because the stores are now setting up Christmas displays before Halloween...now it it has ruined the whole spirit of the holidays? Sure companies try to sell stuff to make money. These same companies employ people with families that buy gifts for thier children. I use to work retail and it was actually fun as an employee to prepare for Christmas. I have offered to make you a custom slingshot for you to try as a hobby...nope, you did that years ago and it sucks and you dont want to do it again! This forum bought you a fricking car...only for it to p1ss you off when it broke down and you left it in a Walmart parking lot!! Grandpa you really need to not look at life as if humanity is just a big burden on your life. I assume most of your social interaction is on this forum...good luck buddy!
