The Sound of Music...

I'm not talking about Julie Andrews shout from the mountaintops 1965 here. Today I want to talk about seasonal music.

They call it SEASONAL for a reason!

In September we have Labor Day
In October we have Halloween
In November we have Thanksgiving
In December we have Christmas

Can someone tell me why in the last week of September Macy's had their Christmas displays up and in full swing?

Can someone tell me why on Thursday Kohl's had Christmas music blaring from their PA system?


I have heard of Christmas in July. BUT- can not ever recall hearing holiday music in July.

Long gone are the days where Christmas music makes it's debut on black Friday when the masses whip out their wallets only to kill each other in line to get the latest and greatest deal which may or may not actually be "the best"

There is definitely something wrong with the world when on October first Halloween decor goes on 50% discount and the Christmas displays come out.

Is it just me or are retailers obsessed with rushing the holiday season?

I don't know about you but it makes me feel old.
Most of you have had or currently have children. You should all understand the value of a minute and know there is no need to rush anything. Those precious minutes tick by in a blink of an eye and before you know it today is gone into yesterday and tomorrow is fast approaching.

Sit back and relax.
Take your time.
Enjoy the moment.

Who knows when it will be your last.

Until next time...
