Ha. Luckily we here have Sint Nicolaas interfering for us. :D

Maybe I should have dressed up like a turkey????

I think Cosco is full of something else…

The seasonal candy aisle at Wal-Mart has one side of Halloween candy and the other side Christmas. And so begins the madness. Though I will admit, I bought ONE thing from the Christmas candy only because I found it irresistible. You know those chocolate oranges? Well, Ovation has a creme de menthe one this year. There was only one left, so I took it. That’s one of those things that I think should be available year round. The orange chocolate oranges are and I get them once in a while.

Plus, it’s the STONE AGE.

Christmas music is starting, ornaments are being sold, the season has begun.

The only reason stores put out Christmas stuff so early is because people BUY it, they wouldn’t do that if people wouldn’t buy it, so you don’t like early Christmas stuff, then don’t buy it. They aren’t going to waste precious retail space for stuff that won’t sell.

Me personally, I could careless when they put it out. Far as I’m concerned they can have it out year round, I choose to not let it bother me.

Does anyone remember the 1940 movie “Christmas in July”?Well with retailers marketing their wares earlier and earlier. It’s going to be a reality one day. It’s the same problem with clothing. Heck, can anyone find a decent swimsuit in August? Or a winter coat in January?

I have a Christmas tree costume……

Don’t rush Christmas… The older I get , the larger my Christmas list gets.

This is one of the reasons I am happily retired from retail…

My neighbor (who is a volunteer Santa in December) dressed up as Santa when he answered the door last Hallowe’en. Kids going to his house were pretty confused!

How do you embed another comic in your comment?

Always look not only for the first blowfly of Summer (am in Australia) but the first sign of Christmas. What I feel is the unbeatable entry for my award was a kid’s Christmas stocking on display in a local supermarket in July. Maybe there are earlier examples but this one went for the ‘grand slam’ by having a bag of candies in it with a ‘Use by date’ of November that same year.Oh, oops, the original subject was Halloween – apologies for spooking about Christmas.

If there was only 1 available, maybe it was from last year.

walked into a store last night and it was almost all Christmas stuff…WTF?! I’ve yet to celebrate Halloween. Weird times we live in.

Santa will not be coming to Clumsy’s house this time around.
