    Default November 15th

    My wife made it official, she's fed up with Christmas shopping advertising.

    My web browser is configured with ublock origin and I don't turn on any radio with ads. Problem solved.

    I listen to my lists on Spotify at home and in the truck and watch documentaries on Prime and Netflix. The only Christmas stuff is the required viewing of Christmas Vacation.

    It takes a courageous person to swim against the tide of giving and getting presents on the coming holiday.

    But it is the right thing to do.

    My negative feelings towards Christmas started in the Summer, specifically 29 June. That’s when my regularly scheduled programs were disrupted, as the Hallmark Channel kicked off their Christmas in July marathon.

    We're moving to a small town in Wyoming in the spring. They don't do any Christmas stuff until the second week of December. My kind of people.

    In the Dorptown people have their tasteless plastic blow up Christmas lawn ornaments out already. That's how I know Thanksgiving is sometime in the next few weeks.
