Stores have their Christmas stuff out for sale.

Eesh.

I think this is the earliest I have seen it yet.

JC Penny's had it out and so did the Hallmark store in the mall... trees, ornaments, decorations, cards.. ugh.

I KISS YOU!

I was just on hold with a prospect and their hold music was "The Nutcracker Suite", freaked me out a little.

It's hard to keep up.

I took the baby out last night trick or treating.

You'd be suprised how many people were unprepared. Even those that were, seemed put out when I asked that they keep the candy and just give breast milk.

christmas was never a pure or genuine holiday in america ... but of late, it's been purely a fourth quarter marketing blitz ...

Yeah, once you get near September, it's fair game.

The reason it's been stepped up in retail chains is because so many kids head back to school at the end of August now, so that kills the "Back to School" sales which were the crux of sales planning. Nothing left after that except holday shopping...

Ya know I found its not a good idea to go Christmas Caroling alone, while Angry and Drunk. Especially when it's nowhere near Christmas.
