Pluggers by Rick McKee for August 26, 2024

In a few weeks it will be Christmas.

Home Depot is floor clearing today.

I don’t like seeing Halloween displays in the summer.

I don’t like seeing Christmas displays at Thanksgiving.

It’s a dire warning to the neighborhood kids: “Stay Off My Lawn!”

Yes I have seen this in my area ! Folks are in a rush ;-)

Went to the supermarket the other day. They have a BIG display of Halloween candy.

People around here celebrate, “Augtoberfest”.

Actually, no, we don’t.

Not me, but this does explain some of the other houses.

But Football season is about to start.

Some people need a Holiday store. All the holidays all of the time. Nothing special, nothing to look forward to, because it’s all there all of the time.

Our Walmart was putting up Halloween stuff just after the 4th of July.

Not this plugger!

Plugger should know Octoberfest is on 9/21.

as a wise man said, if they can start celebrating Christmas in October, we can start celebrating Halloween in August. (around here, there are skeletons (large) up all year round)

This is my neighbor. They start the first week of August every year. 8-10 foot tall skeletons, animal skeletons, demons, 2 partial piper cup plane bodies, helicopter cab, you get it. The doll babies hanging by their necks from the trees have not been taken down in 3 years. Me and my other neighbors HATE IT! Plus, the traffic problems it causes.

My wife is patiently waiting for September 3 to put up her Halloween decorations.

Those two Plugs have on a flannel shirt and sweater in August and we’re still in the mid 90’s.

Pumpkin Spice Everything is already in stores. 8-P

It’s OK; it’s a Thanksgiving skeleton. :)

an’ while you’re out there, don’t forget the christmas decorations!

Quite the opposite, actually. Pluggers don’t anticipate like WalMart, they always get caught by surprise.

UGH!

No! Get that pumpkin spice outta here while it’s still AUGUST!

My neighbor has a really tall skeleton in his front yard, and chooses to leave it up all year. Gives me a smile every time I pass.

We take our time with the holy days in church, and keep them spiritually fulfilling.

Last 4 months of the year are Septober, Ocnember, Nowonder, and Christmas.

The Safeways in the San Francisco area start breaking out the pumpkin stuff (pumpkin desserts (not just pie), pumpkin spice Keurig cups, even pumpkin beer) around August 20

I guess Walmart employees are Pluggers then.

Hallowgivings followed by Chrinukknza.

Some stores are already displaying decorations for Hallow-thanks-mas.

No kidding. August wasn’t even over yet and already they put up the Halloween stuff.
