X-Mas in November

Right at this very moment I am sitting in the kitchen listening to Christmas music that is being played on the radio. When did this become okay? I mean I am one of those people who starts to listen to christmas music the moment I feel a little chill outside but for the radio to play it, that is just not okay.

I feel like it's kind of a marketing ploy for radio stations to play christmas music. Christmas music makes people feel like they have to start shopping. Drive around, listen to the music and shop! I hate this aspect of christmas. I love christmas for the family time, for the baked goods, for the warm drinks, for the coziness. I hate the whole stressing out about what to for get so and so. I wish everyone in my family smoked weed because I would get everyone a little green tree and call it a day, but no. Everyone loves their retail. Their purses and their shoes, and their clothes, and their gadgets. Puke! I even despise toys.

Don't even get me started on black Friday. Like why do people still do this? I'm assuming the same people who voted for Donald Trump are the same people who trample each other for a little discount the the day after thanksgiving.  People, people. Look how far we have come. Gays can get married, we can clone animals, yet we still mob each other for a television. Take a long hard look at your life, do you really need another motherfucking TV. Fuck no you don't.

My tips to you this Holiday season:

Shop small:
There are many businesses who sell amazing one of a kind products. That everyone you love. Stop making rich people richer and help a single momma out.

Fave shops- Vital Herbals , MindBodySoulShop ,
Make shit :
Believe it or not people actually love things that you put your heart and soul into and crafted with your own hands over something bought.

Shop Secondhand:
If you've never shopped at a 2nd hand store you should start! I find the most awesome and unique pieces and thrift stores for 1/10th of what you would pay at a department store. This is especially a good idea for kids because they do not know the difference.

Go gift-free:
If everyone in your circle completley agrees to go gift-free except for children you can save all of yourselves the money and stress and just enjoy what's really important-family.


All of these ideas will save you time and money are so much more personal and special.

Join me this November and BOYCOTT BLACK FRIDAY!
