34. Ever vigilant to the early Christmas heresy!

Nov 2021

It's wrong and that is all there is to it. Christmas begins the day after Thanksgiving, period.the.end. Anything Christmas done before then is anti-tradition in my book and I love all of our Christmas traditions! Even though Christmas songs have been on the radio since 2 weeks ago on this one channel, I have not turned it on, and will not until next Friday.

Man the bulwarks, stop the premature invasion!!!
