OT: Oh, no

[Steelerone]

Watching the pre-game show and saw the first Wal-Mart Christmas advertisment. On November 3rd. I feel myself going into a deep state of depression knowing that this is just the beginning. Have I taken a wrong turn and driven into Stranger Things?

There are a bunch of Christmas movies on tonight, too. It’s just . . . wrong.

Steelerone, Christmas commercials on November 3 can only mean one thing. You’re about to enter the “twilight zone”.





Just kidding. Christmas commercials just means we are about to embark on the most wonderful time of the year.

Carnac, I agree with you but if you give me a choice between the Chinese water torture and the constant, constant, constant Christmas commercials at least after an hour of drip, drip, drip I'd be I'd be a new person.

As much as I love Christmas it is way too early for this stuff. By the time the holiday is close everyone is sick to death of it.

Hate to admit it, but I love the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Channel, guess I've become a softy since I have completely retired from the workforce.

I get sick thinking of all the xmas songs playing over and over...that is worse than chinese torture

My friend, I remember years ago here in NYC one radio station decided to play all Christmas songs 24 hrs until Christmas. Starting the end of September!!! My job became a living hell. Don't tell me your problems. If you have cable the Hallmark Channel started their 24 hr Christmas film barrage the first of the month.

Maybe I'll just start leaving my outside Christmas lights on all year. Hope you got a different job.

Yeah ultimately I did. It's called retirement with a pension, and it's the best job I ever had. By the way, there actually are people in this city that leave their lights on for at least half the year, and leave them in place the entire year.

Bah, humbug! Christmas should never supersede Thanksgiving. Just a bunch of rampant hucksters lining their pockets and debasing the hoiliday spirit.

My wife and I have been watching Christmas themed movies for the past month. We love 'em. Ho ho ho.

Shoprite's been playing christmas music since Friday, 11/01/19. Way too early!!

I liked them in the beginning as well but the sheer number of these movies which all seem to be very similar in plot construction is too much. Very rare do they spit out an original idea (usually when they get a big name country singer)

LOL. A week after I retired my wife checked my blood pressure and it went down about twenty points. When you are working after awhile you forget sometimes how much pressure you might be experiencing.

SWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and miss)

 

[Huskygamble19]

All I have to say about the early Christmas commercials and movies is..Happy Thanksgiving!!!

 

[Bigboote]

How many plots are there in blues songs?

 

[j66kicker]

Or country. Play a country/western song backward:

- Truck fixes itself
- Woman comes home
- Dog comes back to life

They're just trying to get you "in the mood". They're just trying to inject some Christmas spirit into you early, hoping you'll feel "generous" and benevolent once the holiday shopping season begins in earnest after Thanksgiving. They want you to spread some holiday cheer with gifts for all your friends and acquaintances.

Remember what retired Washington Redskins running back John Riggins once told U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor at a Washington area social function: "C'mon Sandy baby, loosen up".

 

[Steelerone]

Well, after all these comment I have only one thing to say - I hope all of my friends on this great site not only have the happiest of holidays, but also the safest, and most wonderful time with their loved one, from this date on.
