What's YOUR holiday policy?

I have a confession to make. I've already started listening to Christmas music. And I'm not ashamed of it. In all fairness, weeks ago I walked into a store and was greeted by this:

Ok. So maybe my photography isn't going to win any state fair, but I was trying to remain incognito. You know, where you pretend like you're just texting... Anyway, my policy is normally November first or the first snow (whichever comes first), but I was thinking about the great music I was going to listen to in a few short days and I just couldn't wait. Now there's no turning back. I don't really know what the protocol in Germany is. I should ask. I don't think they're as finicky as Americans. But most people in the US follow the "After Thanksgiving" or maybe "after Halloween". They normally have some argument about skipping holidays. I've got news for you. Germany doesn't officially celebrate either one of those holidays (along with most other countries). Ha. You are invalidated. But for those of you bah humbugs out there here's a Thanksgiving song for the meantime (you can come back to it on Thursday if you ABSOLUTELY MUST).

At least Josh understands the season. And that season should be year-round.

I'm not sayin'; I'm just sayin'.
