Drabble by Kevin Fagan for August 24, 2017

oy don’t i know it guys.

Buy it now, by Halloween it is stale. lol

Buy it now, you’ve eaten it yourself by Halloween, and then you have to buy more.

On Sunday when food shopping I saw Halloween greeting cards in my local supermarket. Also a Halloween store is already opened in one of the mini malls in my area.

My local supermarkets began selling Halloween candy at the end of July.

Christmas decorations will be out in a couple of weeks.

I’ve been seeing Jack o’ lanterns, and santa claus on catalogs for over a month.

I’m surprised he didn’t fill his cart with it.

Just stay away from the male-dreaded Aisle 8: ‘Feminine Hygiene’ products.Drains testosterone from a distance.

Not for nothing, but:

1. Supermarkets provide directories to help you find what you need quickly; and

2. All the aisles have signs that tell you what’s in ’em.

I knew the holidays were coming, but I’ve had a lot going on here (Cataract surgery in both eyes) so it was a minor shock to see the Halloween candy.

Yesterday I saw pics of Magic Kingdom (Walt Disney World) decorated for fall…our heat index was 117F. So weird.

I saw pet costumes at Petsmart two weeks ago!

It’s not unusual for Halloween stuff to be out before Labor Day. Christmas things are out before Halloween, Easter things are out by January…Guess you get the drift.

Halloween never leaves, it LURKS!

The “Holiday” aisle is just that. What are they supposed to put there? If they put “regular” merchandise there when it’s not a holiday season, where are they supposed to put that stuff when a holiday comes? So when one holiday is over, the stuff for the next holiday goes in its place, no matter how far away it is. Just the way it works.
