Christmas Season Comes to Chicago
It's no surprise that the Christmas season arrives earlier and earlier with each passing year. Hell, Walgreens had Christmas decorations up and about weeks before Halloween! Of course, our gluttonous consumerism and the greedy corporations that profit from the spendthrift nation add to the always-increasing commercialization of this holiday.
Lucky for me, I'm a big fan of Christmas and all of the festivities surrounding this time of year. And though I think it's despicable that the holiday season is trumping Thanksgiving and the Pilgrims and all of that good historical stuff, I do find it to be oddly exciting that our all-Christmas-music-all-the-time station has officially started playing holiday tunes as of today.
Despite the lack of a Christmas tree in Daley Plaza and no lights along Michigan Ave. and storefronts still bare of their holiday themes, it does appear as though as the Christmas season has begun in Chicago.
