I like Christmas and celebrating the Holidays with my family and friends just as much as the next guy. I can even embrace the ugly Christmas sweater .What I don?t like is the feeling of Christmas being jammed in our face before we even have a chance to finish Halloween, and start the execution of Thanksgiving. To me ?Christmas Creep ?is a personal definition of being impatient buy retailers to make up financial ground too soon and its offensive, and just not right in any way shape or form. It?s upsetting the natural order of celebration and just seems so out of place and to me it?s downright wrong. I mean three really is a crowd, Christmas please wait your turn after Halloween and Thanksgiving. If retailers want to sale holiday merchandise out of season then they should dedicate a year round space.
The very last thing on my mind in October is Santa Clause and eight tiny reindeer. I personally believe nobody wants this, I recall that the start of the so-called Holiday season to come right after the Macey?s Thanksgiving Day

    They believe that Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ whom they believe is the savior of the world. For that reason they routinely include Christian symbols and phrases into any decorations they put up for the holiday. Many feel it is their right, and some would argue it is their duty to do so. This is mainly due to the fact that Christians are taught they must not be ashamed of what they believe and they must tell others about their beliefs. They feel they must share what the Bible tells them is the truth so that others will convert to Christianity and be saved from going to

    I think it is extremely weird how Christmas trees are not allowed, but candy canes, another Christmas themed decoration, are allowed. I do not understand why you cannot celebrate every holiday, instead of celebrating none of them. In my mind I compare the school system before any of these exclusions to the saying, “Happy Holidays”. This saying means to me that you can be happy and you can celebrate no matter what you are happy about. Now the schools are like, “we want you to be happy but not for any reason”.

    My family and I celebrate Christmas and gift giving every year without having to be forced in any way. From Christmas shopping, decorating the Christmas tree, making Christmas cookies, singing carols, and gift giving, my family and I have always followed the "rules. " We are motivated and influenced by society to acknowledge the Christmas holiday and act of gift giving because it is what our culture has been governed to do.

  • Comparing The Nightmare Before Christmas And How The Grinch Stole Christmas

    When people are asked to name some of the classic Christmas movies, they are quick to say movies such as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964), Frosty the Snowman (1969), and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), but they forget to mention the dismal, chilling The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993). But why is that, doesn’t Tim Burton still show the joy that Christmas brings, but in a slightly new perspective? Aren’t The Nightmare Before Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas quite similar depictions of how some may deal with the “Christmas blues”? The Nightmare Before Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas both originated as poems with rhythms similar to most Christmas poems. Tim Burton and Dr. Seuss both portray the cliché themes
