Christmas before Columbus Day

Oh Holy JAY-sus!


In honor of advance notices about the release of the Bob Dylan Christmas album, RantWoman is taking her annual lick at her "Modern retail delivers Christmas just TOO DANG EARLY!" obsession.


RantWoman saw her first Christmas THING of the year in late September. It was a Christmas-themed bag of pinecones displayed right next to the Halloween pumpkins at her local grocer. Now the Christmas clutter is already queuing up right next to the purple pumpkin heads at RantWoman's nearest RiteAid. Arrrrrrrrrrgggggggh! Much to the horror of retailers everywhere, RantWoman would like it most if there were NO Christmas displays until after Thanksgiving. Obviously no one asks RantWoman.

And then there's Dylan's Christmas album. RantWoman really does not feel terribly au courant about either Dylan's overall career or his religious evolution. RantWoman simply wants to note, based on the clip RantWoman heard, Dylan does Latin (Venid i adoremus) like absolutely no one RantWoman has ever heard. It's too dang early, but it's like no one ever heard(!?!)
