Meet Cpl. Mayhem- The Grinch... Until December 1st

Cpl. Mayhem has a pet peeve and he is very vocal about it.
It's funny to me because he gets so worked up about it and then it makes me join the bandwagon on the issue.

It's Christmas. I'm sure you figured it out by the title of this post.

I do want to say that Cpl. Mayhem loves the holidays and the joyous occasion of the birth of Christ, but there is one thing that just gets under his skin...

Cpl. Mayhem says, "Christmas is the only holiday that we spend 6 months celebrating!". And is he wrong? Is anyone really surprised to see Christmas decorations out before Halloween is through? And once The calendar gets turned to November first we start stringing lights?  And don't get him started about people decorating before Remembrance Day (to which I agree fully!). Let's also not forget Christmas in July?  Oh boy....

I mentioned to him about decorating our house this weekend when my parents came to visit  but if he had it his way he would set the tree up on Christmas Eve and take it down the next day. He caved and said December 5th was the earliest he would go!

I tried to argue with him about the three wise men journey to see Jesus which is why we spend the month of December preparing for His birth. To his reply, was:

"If the wisemen had to do this journey today they would have flown and Christmas would have lasted two hours!"

Funny my husband!
Maybe he'll lighten up once December 1st arrives! I sure hope it is soon!
