Default Christmas

Really? The Daily Rag couldn't wait just one more day for Thanksgiving to be over before putting in the Christmas Special?

It's not only the Daily rag, it's been going on now for weeks in retail.

This year because of inflation, they need to cash in of the suckers ready to pay those prices.

What's the problem with placing the Christmas Section in the Thanksgiving day paper. Today is the start of the holiday season and with many things being in short supply the early bird gets the worm.

No different than every store having Christmas trees up before Halloween or Villagers with trees up in September.

I question why anyone would subscribe to a publication they refer to as “the daily rag”.

Is it still ok to say Christmas like is it politically correct or are we supposed to refer to it as “the last holiday in the calendar year” or some other vague description? Not that I care MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Some years back, I was in Manila in September and the stores were all decorated and playing Christmas music.
