It's Not the Freaking Holiday Season

The thing that makes holidays special is that they are rare. Each one only comes once a year and you only get to enjoy it for a short time. They are supposed to stand out. It's bad enough that retailers have overcommercialized them to death by starting the "season" earlier each year, now some radio stations have already switched to 24-7 Christmas music. Blech. I refuse to acknowledge the existence of any holiday before its month.
