It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Bethesda Row (Photos)


The Christmas season was officially here, as of 12:00 AM this morning. Bethesda Row hasn't wasted a single minute. Elves from American Christmas of Mount Vernon, New York, have been busy working all day at the Bethesda development, and the main Christmas tree on Bethesda Lane has already been erected at this hour. Some decorations are new this year, such as the ornaments bouquet tacked up on the facade of Anthropologie & Co. And large stars, which are being hung from the new plaza canopy in front of that store, and hopefully light up.

So ridiculous. Costco has had Xmas stuff for weeks and now is . basically full blown as is Home Depot and many more. It really makes it hard to get into the real spirit of Christmas and the reason for the season. At least people in stores wish customers a Merry Christmas again. The holiday shopping season? So dumb to say that when it's Christmas, that's it. There is no other gift giving holiday so stop it already.

That van just drove past me as I walked down Woodmont Ave.

People give gifts for Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa, and even for New Year's.
Don't be a jerk.

Only Christmas matters. JAC has spoken.

4:53 - No one believes that.

5:22 - As an overwhelmingly Christian nation, of course that's true. Holiday gift giving. Even the Jews know it's Christmas shopping. Always has been, always will be. All across the UK, Ireland, France and everywhere else in Europe where there are many faith traditions, it's Merry Christmas. I have spoken? No, common sense and tradition already spoke.

"Even the Jews. . . ."????
As Bugs Bunny often said, "What a maroon!"

6:29 - Our Jewish brothers and sisters. How's that? The holiday shopping season is the Christmas shopping season. Thank you!
