But for pity's sake, NO CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS ALONGSIDE THE HALLOWEEN CANDY AND COSTUMES!!!<BR/><BR/>That was one of the things I enjoyed about my tour in the Balkans - no Muzak anywhere, just the occasional radio on the PA, so you didn't get sick to death of Christmas music by Dec. 3rd. In fact, New Year's was a bigger deal, and those who observed Christmas did so on the Orthodox calendar (Jan. 7th).Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242503212913962081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994078.post-1132754771345694552005-11-23T09:06:00.000-05:002005-11-23T09:06:00.000-05:00You can NOT have my bunny suit!You can NOT have my bunny suit!Hjaltihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098720682343665763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994078.post-1132753157260131842005-11-23T08:39:00.000-05:002005-11-23T08:39:00.000-05:00There will be no Christmas advertising, no Christm...<I>There will be no Christmas advertising, no Christmas music on the radio, nothing, nothing about Christmas until after December 1st</I><BR/><BR/>Sing it, sistah!

I allow Christmas music from the Friday after Thanksgiving on. The penalties for violating this are probably harsher in my Empire than in Leta's though.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187063712915310505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994078.post-1132738949803037302005-11-23T04:42:00.000-05:002005-11-23T04:42:00.000-05:00So there we were at DisneyWorld enjoying ourselves...So there we were at DisneyWorld enjoying ourselves. We'd had a lovely Halloween and oohed and ahhhed over the great decorations (see gleefulgecko.com for a great pictures). <BR/>On Thursday we went to Animal Kingdom and were amazed by the HUGE Christmas tree out front. It's decorated up in a way that really fits with the park, but... um, the first week of November? <BR/>On Friday, we went for a character breakfast and had lots of fun, but were midly disgusted by the Christmas tunes they had on constant rotation. Grandma got runover by a reindeer? Yep. We were still in the Halloween spirit, hardly having eaten any of the pounds and pounds of treats the kids got!<BR/>While I don't usually support dictatorships, or monarchies, I would support your efforts to keep Christmas to a reasonable duration, like maybe Advent or something. <BR/>I am glad I've never worked in a place where you can't escape Christmas music (despite your own personal religious beliefs) for 2 whole months!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
