Why am I not surprised?

A little disgusted, maybe, but not really surprised.

Living a couple blocks away from Walmart, I end up going there at least twice a week. Today when Joshua and I went on a milk run, I was greeted by a huge Christmas tree as we enter the store and all the Christmas stuff was up all around the store. I sighed.

I enjoy celebrating Christmas as much as the next person, but I enjoy celebrating Christmas AFTER Thanksgiving, not THE MINUTE Halloween is over. It just irks me that Thanksgiving is glossed over or disregarded completely for the more marketable holiday of Christmas. It starts earlier every year, and the commercialization of the holiday really gets to me.
