Christmas Music...
...began playing on local Southern California station KOST 103.5 FM on Friday. I'm sorry to say they're starting earlier each year. It used to be they'd wait until Black Friday to start with the 24/7 Christmas music.
I love Christmas music but prefer to listen after the Thanksgiving holiday. I know retailers are super excited about having an extra week of shopping, but if they keep this up, I'm one shopper that's going to revolt.
Whatever happened to giving us time to ease into the spirit? Of making shopping fun and exciting? Of making it a journey not a quick destination?
Maybe I'm getting old? Crabby? I just need a little more time, folks. Don't rush me!

Random Ten
10 songs that sum up your weekend...or were on your weekend playlist...and one picture that relates back. (oh, and if you feel like it, tell us why you picked the songs you did)
This year's Christmas Tree on Main Street, Disneyland, California. This weekend's music was heavily influenced by the Festival of Lights and the spirit of the season, in general. The rain this weekend brought the temperature down and made night air much cooler and Christmassy.
~ Silver Bells
~ The Emotions What do the Lonely do at Christmas?
~ Elvis Presley If Everyday Were Like Christmas
~ The Jackson Five I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
~ Mariah Carey Christmas
~ White Christmas with cute animation and a rocking sound! How can you not like it?
~ Margie Joseph Christmas Gift
~ The Stylistics When You’ve got Love, It’s Christmas all year Long
~ The Temprees It’s Christmas Time Again
~ Luther Vandross O Come all Ye Faithful

Spent the day out and about, did lunch with the gals at Bennihana's, then spent the day shopping at JoAnn's Etc. This version is much larger than the regular JoAnn's and carries a larger variety of seasonal items, ceramics, trees, scrapbooking and rubber stamping materials, as well as lots of awe inspiring fabric.
Speaking of rubber stamping, I did not make any Halloween or Thanksgiving cards. I never even got close to the craft area. Time's just breezing past and I can't seem to keep up. Anyone feeling this way?
I know we're in November, I write the date daily for different projects, there's a definite disconnection regardless. The Ontario Mills Mall is now dressed and primed for the Christmas shopping frenzy and still I'm not in the mood to shop. Maybe I need Christmas music or something - I really don't know.
We wound the day by wine tasting at the Fillipi winery in Rancho Cucamonga. We did buy a couple of gifts and the gals found some items for co-workers. The sunset was spectacular and we found two new wines to add to our growing list. I think we're doing lunch again in two weeks and this time it will be Italian cuisine followed by another wine tasting - I can't wait!
Oh, I finally made it to my favorite store Target and bought John Legend's and Lionel Richie's Christmas CD sampler. There are like seven songs on each CD and I paid $6.99. No surprise that the pricing is basically $.99 a tune a la theiTunes music
store. I can dig the price since I like both artists a lot and they're singing standards. How can they mess up Christmas songs? I am still holding out on buying music online, though.
Blogger's acting odd; I did the Top 5 on Friday meme yesterday and the post doesn't
show. Not only doesn't it show, I can't find a draft of it anywhere. So disappointing too as I worked on it for quite awhile. Well, I'm not redoing it. Maybe next week's will post.
