The Christmas Season: Free Post

     Every year people are excited for christmas.  It mud be the sweet candy canes, family get-togethers, wrapped presents under the tree, or the christmas feast.  Every person has a different reason, however I feel that every year I get in the spirt a little bit earlier each year.  I like the Christmas spirit, but how much is too much?  I feel that people like christmas for Christmas but mostly for the anticipation.  Or at least that is how it is for me.  

     Christmas is fun, although I feel like I buy more things in December than I do at any other month of the year.  Did you know that stores like Walmart make sixty percent of their revenue from Christmas?  That is a lot of money.  Christmas has already started this year, it is November Ninth, wow.  I have seen christmas things at the mall, Walgreens, Walmart, and even a restaurant already decorated.    some neighborhoods have passed a regulation that you can have Christmas decorations out on a certain date and time and back up at a certain time and date.  This year especially christmas and the sales have started early because Thanksgiving is six days late, or six days less for Walmart shoppers.  Christmas is special even if it starts early, it is still fun and has it's benefits.

  2. Hi Annie:
    I never that about Walmart! I love Christmas. It is my favorite holiday. It definitely brings a lot of benefits. I did not realize that there were regulations on Christmas decorations. I learn something new everyday. Interesting post!
    Sincerely,
