For me, Christmas starts once Santa comes in during the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Either I’ve had a long day, or that video is hilarious…currently hiding behind my monitor stifling my laughter.

It’s part of Hallmark’s “Upset ‘Em” collection.

I saw a Leslie Nielsen birthday card at Price Chopper yesterday. It read “So you’re another year older…”
I’m pretty sure it was made and marketed just to upset me.

This is a struggle for some Christians. Businesses dictate that it is “Christmas time” when in fact the end of Advent dictates the beginning of Christmas. Advent is the season of preparation before Christmas. In the American mind, holidays are usually celebrated before, rather than after. Christmas lasts for days after December 25. I wrote about this struggle recently in a blog post:

Retail shopping has dictated in many believers mind that Christmas begins when stores put out their Christmas displays. Or, it begins after Thanksgiving.
