Well...while the TV is on....I really don't pay much attention to it, so all I've noticed is the end of the ad says "CHRISTMAS".....which shocked me at first, because everyone always seems to use the euphemism, HOLIDAY. Maybe there is hope....I'll have to go out and check out the local Target store.

I shop all year for Christmas, and in fact no longer celebrate a single day for some of our family (long story)....I give them Christmas presents (yes, with Christmas wrapping, etc.) ALL year long - about every few months....in fact, it's time for another set about now. It's turned out much more JOYOUS, and I believe is teaching them (they are mostly children) that CHRISTmas is something we should really think about all year long. (Well, that's my hope.)

What a meaningful tradition!
