The first day of autumn is upon us, and I'm already being bombarded with Christmas. I don't get it, and I don't like it. Christmas used to be one very, very special day of the year that we celebrated for one month of the year. That made it magical. It made it a winter wonderland filled with kindness and surprises and joy. It brought out the best in people. It brought people together. Now, it's gotten to the point that by the time Christmas is actually here, I'm so tired of seeing ads and movies and so many other forms of commercial exploitation of the holiday, that I'm sick of the idea of Christmas. I can't wait for it to be over so the world can go back to normal, and I can stop seeing things that I'm supposed to want to buy. It's made it annoying, and it's diminishing the glory and beauty of the holiday. Why don't we have Halloween movies and celebrations? More importantly, why don't we have Thanksgiving celebrations? That's a holiday that reminds us to be thankful for what we have and who we have in our lives. It reminds us of the gifts that have been bestowed upon us, and it brings families together. I think that's much more important than buying gifts. With the creation of Black Friday, people rush through Thanksgiving dinner to get away from their families to get to the store to buy, buy, buy. They can't wait to leave their families and loved ones behind to get to the sale. It's appalling. They scratch and claw at each other, shoving people aside to get things. Things are not more important than being thankful. Not even close. I wish that we could go back to celebrating Halloween in October, Thanksgiving in November, and then celebrating Christmas in December. That way, we wouldn't lose sight of what is important, and we can revel in the joy and celebrate each holiday to the fullest. The Christmas inudation used to start right before Halloween. Now, it's already started one month earlier in September. Why have Christmas at all if we're going to devalue it? Why not just have sales and unrealistic movies all year long? Oh wait, they do that already. It's ridiculous. We need to get back to celebrating Christmas in December only. And we can have a week of Christmas in July to restock the food for the needy. No matter what we do, we need to celebrate Thanksgiving to its fullest. We need to remember why we're thankful and then thank those who have made us thankful. We need to give back to the world during that time and focus on what's truly important in this world. I think that would be love, kindness, compassion, understanding, acceptance, and people. What do you think?
