	I agree with idea that Christmas is too commercial.
It is depressing to be flung into the holiday spirit when
the only holiday you are currently looking forward to is Halloween.
(Or even Labor Day at the rate things are going. I can see it now:
Get your kid school clothes and Xmas shop all in one easy afternoon.)
The most depressing part is not the forced atmosphere of holiday
cheer too early but the tiredness and lack of spirit by the time
the actual holiday arrives. I can not maintain the zeal I feel
for the couple of weeks that should be the holiday season if I have
been bombarded with "Jingle Bells. K-Mart sells" or whatever for
weeks before. But the only way to change things is to make yourself
heard so I shall inform the local mall management that I don't appreciate
Autumn Christmases.

				Bah Humbug For a few weeks yet.
