Holiday Fatigue


Thank God that's over with.

At least that's what I thought.

It seems as if we've been under Holiday Assault for like... ever.  Which isn't half wrong - I remember seeing the first Halloween crap go up in early August.  Followed by a small wave of Thanksgiving, which was quickly consumed by a fucking Tsunami of Christmas.  The Christmas music started the day after Halloween and if I hear Burl Ives singing "A Holly Jolly Christmas" one more time I'm going to punch out my own eardrums.  With a candy cane.

Now, with New Year's over with, I was expecting a respite.

But I was wrong.

Walking to the market yesterday, I couldn't help but notice the entire shopping center is awash in the pink and red of... Valentine's Day!!!!

It's January Fucking 2?  Really?  No break?

Oy vey.  At this rate I should expect to start seeing St. Patrick's Day by the weekend.
