Merry Christmas everyone! I can’t believe it’s this time of year again - it only feels like Christmas was 10 months ago or so! What? IT WAS!?!?!

Hmm, well, must be a time zone difference thing. Either way, its Christmas! Or - atleast there are some people who think it is… Let’s set the scene, November 1st, the day after Halloween, and we go shopping at our ‘local’ supermarket - Harris Teeter, and the first thing we notice - Christmas products on sale! Now, we think its a bit early, but we go along with it…

Today however in the bookstore on campus, they were playing music from a radio station, and, nevertheless, they were Christmas songs. It’s November 5th I would like to add. It’s a bit strange, but again, we go along with it… buying a few campus t-shirts and such with Christmas songs on in the background… its all good.

When I got back to my flat, being bored as always, I could either do work or do nothing. So, I decided on the latter… after a while I decided to check out the same radio station’s website which was playing in the bookstore. What do I find? Christmas songs - all weekend. They’re even playing Radio Jingles saying stuff like “Wishing you a very Merry Christmas K104.7″. Even while I write this, ‘Santa Claus Is Coming To Town’ is playing in the background.

The question is. When is early, too early?
