Seasonal acceleration
Sep. 6th, 2010 06:00 pmThe other day in the supermarket, I saw they already had out Halloween candy.
“That’s disgusting,” the person next to me said. “It’s two months early! Next thing you know they’ll put out the Christmas stuff and that’s just wrong.”
While I agree with this assessment, I was surprised to hear it from my 6 year old godson.
Today, the Thanksgiving stuff was out. I’m glad my godson wasn’t there to see it.

Of course, the big spender's may end up just as all-year festivities.. Santa at the beach in red swimwear reminding you, it's only 8 months away!
