Why does everyone feel the need to remind me it's friggen Christmas soon!?

[lifeingeneral]

So while having my blood drawn this morning, which yes I begged for them to use the butterfly needle -I'm a wussy, deal with it- , the nurse asked me if I was ready for Christmas. I just kind of stared at her like wtf? Not because of the question but because she was the third, THIRD, person to ask me that this morning. And I went to get my blood drawn at 9:30. I get the feeling that "Are you ready for Christmas?" Is the new "How's the weather?". Speaking of which why doesn't anyone ever ask "Ready for Thanksgiving?".

It's like it goes straight from "What are you wearing for Halloween?" to "Ready for Christmas?"

I've decided there is no Thanksgiving anymore. It goes Halloween, Christmas.

And my ranting has nothing to do with the fact that I feel everyone keeps asking because I haven't even started shopping for Christmas present yet. Or the fact I haven't been able to have my morning caffeine.
