Relative Something

AAAAauuuuggghh! I’m sorry, I can’t write today’s post. My eyes have been damaged by seeing a Christmas commercial in the beginning of November. Actually, I did already see one in October, but it didn’t have the same effect because it was so ridiculously early that I didn’t even believe what I was seeing. Now, having seen another one, reality is confirmed and it has burned all the way into my head.

The thing is, though, I can’t tell if the ads are for Christmas this year or are already being broadcast for next year, in advance. If I could find an antidote to the over-commercialization of a religious holiday, I would gladly trade a flu vaccine to gain access to it.
