Denying Christmas in July
Can anyone be blamed for longing for Christmas in this heat? I read with interest this blog about a man and his wife who received their first Christmas catalogue on July 10th. Is there something wrong with that?
I don’t know a thing about Gooseberry Patch, the retailer that sent him the catalogue. But I was a bit surprised at this writer’s dismay at receiving a Christmas catalogue now. Christmas is a year-round season for many of us. People follow baseball in the winter and football in the summer. Nobody gets hung up about that. Why should we dis Christmas-fans and the people who market to them?
He actually sent them a letter asking why they were sending out Christmas so early. The nerve!
I can’t believe that some one would take time to write a letter and complain rather than just throwing the catalog away!!! Has he no life? The nerve, indeed!
