Still enjoyed the trick-or-treaters tonight. From 2 on up to who knows what age? All having a good time, like I used to do. Time to pay it back, enjoy the costumes, and hand out candy.
One of the local editions of a major chain had Christmas stuff out on Veterans Day; maybe more than one come to think of it. What’s next? 4th of July? I remember when Thanksgiving was too soon and there was no such thing as Black Fridays, just new movies on Thanksgiving – 4 PM matinees at that.
I was at our local Walmart Friday, the day before Halloween. There were workers taking down the Halloween displays and putting up Christmas displays! I kid you not! So by Saturday, Halloween, they had all the Christmas decorations on display.
I stopped in WalMart to buy some Halloween Candy yesterday, and the first thing that greeted me inside the door was a huge sign hanging from the ceiling that said “Merry Christmas”. I eventually found the candy, but never noticed any signs or decorations related to Halloween, nor Thanksgiving (an American holiday between Halloween and Christmas).
I was in the local K-Mart about a week ago – they have had Christmas stuff up since at least Oct. 1 – and overheard a little boy telling his mother what was missing. It was Santa Claus! Too cute.

Costco (Canada) had a pile of Christmas stuff out at the end of August, way before the Halloween items.

Uuhh?? We’re supposed to take the Christmas decorations down? No wonder people point and laugh when they drive by my house.
