I know exactly what you mean. This is what I was telling a co-worker last week. Came in WalMart and look down the very long aisle that goes from one end to the other in front of the cashiers. And I gazed down into were the lawn and garden section is. Low and behold .. xmas trees!
They just couldn't wait, not one bit! I'm so anti-xmas it's not even funny! I'm not the grinch .. I'm just anti-xmas. It's all become just this huge money grab! And my wife, she wishes to be out in the herd the day after Thanksgiving! WHY? To get run down, stampeded, pushed, bumped, stepped on. And she won't let me do the xmas shopping cause it'll be over in less then an hour. Gift card, gift card, gift card; everybody can get what they want when the BIG sales happen after xmas! Do it my and you look like a hero! The only bunch that gets wrapables is my toddler and infant nephews on my sister. Her kids, kids are past the age of killing wrapping paper!
And of course .. nobody ever, ever, ever, ever, ever gets me anything I need. I'd like a
2 or 3TB external HDD but I'll never see it. Or even somebody getting me a bigger thumb drive this 8GB is getting rather full. Alas not, my wife will not listen to me when I say 'DO NOT GET ME ANYTHING' and comes back with something that I a) don't need b) dont't want c) not my style or size and I'm the type of guy that I don't mean to hurt your feelings but I'm going to tell you how I feel!
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz .. coming out of light speed! Sorry .. this time of the year is not for me! If we could just fast forward to like the mid of the first week of January I'd be ever so grateful!
