Have we forgotten the real reason for celebrating Christmas? It certainly was not to celebrate Christmas sales in the stores year 'round.

Christmas is Coming Earlier By Franklin Price 11/24/2016 Christmas is coming earlier Most each and every year Black Friday defined the movement Made commercialism clear If we keep advancing When the Christmas season starts We will soon be back to Easter And all that that imparts Maybe the Easter Bunny Could help deliver all the toys Making Santa's job less hectic To get to all the girls and boys Would have to change the mindset Of that harbinger of Spring To forget about the Easter Eggs And not hide the toys to bring

Love the humour here Franklin but I agree it gets earlier and earlier that the Christmas stock is on the shelves - and last year our local shop has a display of mini Easter eggs on Boxing Day ... I complained to the manager and walked out!

Now that's just the opposite from Easter to Christmas. Maybe the Easter eggs were left over from Kwanza (sp) LOL . Thanks as always for visiting and commenting
