Christmas celebration

[Gerianne]

lasts about 50 days --- even more.
It's business' big chance of the year to profit.
hello, it is meant to be a solemn holiday.

I've worked retail so I understand why retailers love "Black Friday"....but I think their greed has become disgusting with all the "PRE-Black Friday sales"!!   I do NOT like being bombarded with e-mails, flyers, radio announcements, etc all November long.  "Black Friday" ISN'T "the REASON for the Season"....and it keeps many employees from enjoying their families (something holidays USED to be all about!)

If employers want to treat Black Friday as if it were a National Holiday, I think they should be required to pay employees holiday pay for working that day,  as well as holiday pay for working Thanksgiving!!

I get so burnt out with all the Black Friday stuff. It makes me a little sad how nasty people can get just so they can get a good deal on something. It makes me burnt out on Christmas as well.

I know I don't like listening to Christmas music until after thanksgiving because I like this holiday also

I love the Christmas season even though it starts before Thanksgiving. 

[tuyetmai]

I listen to music about Christmas spirit now already.

I like Christmas but like to celebrate one holiday at a time  Never have put a tree up before Thanksgiving

There are a lot of cool movies coming out that date and they all seem like Blockbusters.

I guess the economy depends on Holidays like Christmas. People like to buy stuff during this holiday season.

I like my holidays separate  not into all this commercial stuff  and I agree the employees should get extra morning for today where I used to work I got double pay for today also

can't wait to gather with friends again - already have the dinner planned!

I look forward to Christmas not for sales as consumers have proceeded to do with an intent of tarnishing
the day in which we celebrate the birth of Christ.

No black Friday shopping for me.  To many people I bought one thing on the internet.

I really could careless about Xmas but have to put on a smiling face for the grandkids.  My grand daughter has already tuned in to Xmas music and wants it playing 24/7 ugh. ..that's a 9 year old for ya look...hope all is dealing well. ..I would recommend online shopping and check out online law-a-way with Kmart.com!

When I was young and the children were too along with all of my nephews and niece, I spent a lot on them, but as they got older and their wants were getting out of hand I backed off on spending. I felt their parents could buy them the expensive items like I would buy for my own child. Now they are all grown and have families it is up to them now to buy for their children or the grandparents buy for them. Now that both of my boys are deceased we no longer do Christmas like we did when they were young. I prefer going to Church Christmas Eve and just having a quite  time at home on Christmas day. If we go out to my brothers we wait until the hoopla is all over then show up. It is not easy without them.
