On November first, I heard three radio stations playing Christmas music.

Starbucks started using their holiday cups.
星巴克都开始用节日专用杯了
And I sat on Santa's lap in the mall.
我还在商场里的圣诞老人腿上坐了会儿
God, I hope it was Santa. I think it was.
天哪 但愿那是圣诞老人 我觉得是
Anyway, people used to start decorating after Thanksgiving, which seemed appropriate.
总之呢 以前人们总会在感恩节过后再开始装饰圣诞节 那样还比较合理

后来 人们开始在11月中旬就开始装饰圣诞节
And now, it's the day after Halloween.
现在呢 刚过完万圣节就开始准备了
And I think it's because people are on some kind of sugar high after that.

Unfortunately, the same study said that the neighbors of the people who decorate early are quote, "super pissed."

It's going too fast though.

Call me old fashioned, but I think you should go trick or treating,
说我是老古董也好 但我觉得大家应该先玩不给糖就捣蛋
then you should fight about politics at Thanksgiving,
然后在感恩节为自己的政治信仰而斗争
and then you should get criticized for being single at Christmas.
然后才在圣诞节因为单身被指责
I think it should be-- also, I think if you can't beat them, join them.
