Today is Friday, August 1, 2014 and there are only 146 days left until Christmas.
And even though Christmas is so close today is, nevertheless, Complain about Christmas Creep Day.
“Christmas creep” is a media invention. It signifies the appearance of Christmas long before Christmas — and before the season of jolliness sets it we’re supposed to endure a long season of bah-humbug. Today is the day when it can “officially” start.
Christmas in July is over, you see. The media gives Christmas a break in July. They hardly ever object to anything Christmas related in stores or in public in July. We looked. We couldn’t find a single objection to it anywhere.
But DefendChristmas.com swears it happens every year. So we delayed today’s post to see if it was true. And, sure enough, the media is griping today about Christmas decorations at Costco.
What that means is that between now and Thanksgiving night the media will moan incessantly about the presence of Christmas and the length of the Christmas season. Of course, FOUR months of crapping about Christmas is an awfully long time.
