Its a morally difficult time of year for me. I have never wanted anything to do with Christmas before December 1st. It just seems wrong. A few years ago I compromised my principles and decided I would put up with Christmas activities beginning the day after Thanksgiving. I feared then that I was headed down a slippery slope, but I was determined not to go any farther (further?). During this time I will allow myself to be the recipient of Christmas activities, but will not be promulgating them by decorating, giving Christmas greeting, or other such sins of the season. (Not sure what "promulgating" means. I could look it up, but who has that kind of tim. On the plus side, spell check told me it is spelled correctly.)
I saw Christmas decorations and heared Christmas music in stores yesterday. I'm not in stores very often, so that will help to quell my angst (?). Thanksgiving was earlier this year than usual, so this year is especially trying. But, only six days and Christmas can truly begin.
