Poll: Christmas Already?
November 5th, 2009
If you read our November issue, you might have read my piece about struggling with my feelings about Christmas. I thought I was better prepared this year but I am already getting all tense thinking about it. It could be because the Xmas TV and radio ads began the day after Halloween or the fact that The Bay in downtown Toronto has already unveiled their holiday windows or that my lovely neighbour down the street has his lights up already. (Really, I just put our pumpkins into our green bin!). I keep reminding myself about the joy and feeling of goodwill the season brings to so many—but does it have to start a full 54 days before the big day? I think the Americans have this one right—they don’t gear up for the holidays on such a massive scale until after their Thanksgiving. What do you think?
