I can officially take it. Viewing Christmas decorations and hearing Christmas songs will not bother me anymore. Thanksgiving has officially passed, and even though it is earlier in the year this year than many years, I can be comfortable with people beginning to bring in the holiday season.
Someone start a counter. How many times will I hear, "Remember the reason for the season?" Possibly my least favorite Christian Christmas cliche. I hope not to use it once, and would prefer to hear it minimally.

Hey Nate,
I don't know if you'll see this. Your post is about a month old, I think. But I came by your blog thru mandy's a few months back and thought I'd stop back and see what I missed.
I've often wanted to respond to some of your posts but didn't. Probably because I've always been a better observer than engager-er-er.
But anyway, I started a blog of my own recently,and found myself (on only my second post) using the dreaded phrase, to which you refer here.
I too felt a twinge of 'eeww' when I began to use it in a sentance. I then attempted to expand on my reaction.
It's not too indepth, and was realy just an off the cuff gripe, but hey, it's there. So if you want to, check it out.
