Christmas generally is pressed by far too early, but this year I've actually noticed very little thus far. Probably has something to do with the city I'm living in having a very small minor population, mostly just college students and up. Although, I used to joke about the possibility of seeing a Jack-o-lantern with a Santa hat....until I saw one.

I generally just ignore Christmas all-together until about two weeks before it strikes anyway. I and most of my first have never been materialists, so home-made and/or gifts with personal value are usually given; so the shopping craze is avoided.

I'm more of a New Years guy anyway.
