Christmas is soooo close, I can almost taste it. But how long have I been waiting for it? After Thanksgiving, it’s officially the Christmas season. Are people hyping Christmas too early, and how can we start getting into the spirit a little bit later? I interviewed two PFMS students for their opinions.;
Henry Mathews: Yes, people are hyping Christmas too early.
I think that we shouldn’t start thinking about Christmas until December. People shouldn’t get their Christmas trees super early, either. If you’ve ever watched the classic Christmas movie “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” Charlie Brown gets super sad and worried about Christmas and he doesn’t know how he should feel. In the movie, this is due to the fact that Christmas is getting too commercialized and the season is starting too early. Overall, I don’t think people should start hyping Christmas until December, and people shouldn’t act like that woman in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade who got her Christmas tree four weeks before Thanksgiving.
Andreas Schmitz: No, people are not hyping Christmas too early.
I think that it is never too early to decorate for Christmas because it is an awesome holiday.
So what do you think? Are people decorating for Christmas too early, or are they doing fine?
