about

they would call me sarah, but it seems that people are afraid to address me by my name. i am a senior. i dislike a lot of things. i enjoy a nice hot medium mocha latte and smoke too many cigarettes for my own good. i have been in love. i love lights and colors. i am above the influence.

I think they should have waited at least until the day after thanksgiving to advertise for 'holiday shopping.' Really...has anyone else noticed that these past couple of years they keep rushing this whole shopping and buying thing earlier and earlier? Especially with chirstmas, and don't take it the wrong way, I love chirstmas and everything, but its not so fun hearing carols on the radio 2 weeks before thanksgiving. So my question is...will this continue the way it has been, or will it soon enough return to normal. If not, then is there anything I can do to help that or change that, other than work for the media? thanks, will rate - no stupid answers please

My goodness, I certainly hope it stops! In this high paced world everything *needs* to go faster; In my beleif, It is the marketers that have made Christmas time seem less special. When we have carols on the raidio and giand stockings at the registers in grocery stores 9 weeks before Christmas, do YOU get the feeling as it's not such a big deal anymore? I used to love the warm feeling I'd get around Christmas, but about 3 years ago it has seemed less and less appealing. I swear it's the marketing business!

As for the Raidio, call in, have your friends call in, I'm SURE you're not the only ones who think it's absurd. A radio station around where I live started playng Christmas tunes on HALOWEEN this year. Needless to say, we were appaled.

And to answer your second question, I'm sad to say that things will probabally go for the worse until there is nothing left but to get better again.

Happy Holidays!
Sarah
