Already?!

I saw them today. They were not welcome... I was completely unprepared. Christmas decorations. In the Kroger, then up at the shopping center by the Office Max. I'm kind of numb...

IT'S STILL OCTOBER!!!

Whatever. The jury is still out as to whether or not I appreciate living in a pseudo-capitalistic society -- Three months of Christmas seems like a bit much. That's a full quarter of the year -- longer than winter in North Carolina and most other states south of the Mason-Dixon.

At the very least, couldn't we have waited until after Halloween? I'm still ill from the candy corn and I don't think I'm ready to tackle the Christmas cookies and Eggnog...

No point in trying to be serious tonight. Better luck next time.
