It was recently brought to Captain ILL's attention that, due to the vagaries of the calendar, the Christmas season will be starting a bit later than usual this year. This is completely unacceptable! There are plenty of reasons for extending the Christmas season instead of shortening it just because Thanksgiving happens to fall near the very end of the month. Surely the state of the economy demands we squeeze in as much shopping time as possible? What about the trees? If we're going to go out and chop down a Christmas tree, don't we owe it to that poor tree to keep it up as long as possible? And how about "Christmas nerds" like poor Captain ILL whose heart is warmed by all the Christmas decorations, Christmas music, and Christmas cookies? Trust me, we all want the Captain's heart to be warm, or he's liable to have more booting accidents than usual. So please support the Movement to Extend the Christmas Season by voting in the new poll!

Dear Captain,
I agree. I can't get away from Christmas all year 'round.
The advantage of marketing Christmas early is that we get to start celebrating early.
When you get the time, please check out my blg.
I have some very interesting Christmas Music.

Thanks a trillion,

Nice music Chris; it definitely helps build the Christmas spirit.
I'd prefer to extend Thanksgiving itself; it's a holiday with relatively little political or moral baggage, just an excuse to eat beyond the limits of human endurance.
David, are you kidding? With Christmas you get Christmas trees, Christmas cookies, Christmas music, Christmas decorations, Santa Claus, Reindeer, presents, chestnuts roasting on an open fire, etc.
With Thanksgiving you get pumpkin pie, which is pretty awesome, but not enough to put it in the same league as Christmas.
Throw all the baggage out the window and remember you can eat beyond the limits of human endurance at Christmas too.
True, so true, Joe. Playboy never did a 'tribute to Thanksgiving' issue but they're all over Christmas.
Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons. Very interesting work.
nice post and thanks for sharing...
