So there I was just making a quick stop at the Eckerd Drug Store for a few items and there on the aisle end cap were several displays of Halloween decorations and kitsch, and then there was one with "Display Lights" that look remarkably like Xmas tree lights. I thought, well, the Xmas tree light marketing people have decided that these lights are now useful for all those elaborate Halloween decorations that apparently get put up everywhere, good for them. Then, I walked down that aisle...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
A full aisle of FREAKIN' CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
IT'S OCTOBER 2 for crying out loud! And I did.
What is the world coming to? This is unacceptable.
It makes me sad. That, and Carter not sleeping anymore. That makes me sad. And tired. Mostly tired. That's sad.
Boycott all Christmas decoration buying until post-Thanksgiving, when Xmas should start.
Thank you.

I'm in complete agreement. And I will point out that Rob suggested we could get out the Christmas DVDs (Rudolph, Frosty, etc.) after Halloween.

Here, here! I got the Christmas issue of a catalogue in the middle of september. Boo.
It gets earlier every year. I've come to the conclusion that the only hope that the promoters and retailer will eventually lap themselves. Then (at least at some point) we'll be celebrating or preparing for Christmas at an appropriate time.
