Diamond Lil by Brett Koth for September 13, 2022

And in the real world, neighbors throw out their dry Christmas tree in JULY. (Yes, I saw it happen here.)

You’re too late, they’ve been here for two weeks already.

Just go online you’ll find Christmas decorations that are ready to be shipped. In August the Halloween candy and decorations were already out with school supplies. September is for Christmas and the commercials have already been seen.

You, you……..Plastic People!!!

103 Shopping Days Until Christmas!!!

i once left my Christmas tree up for 9 years

Since the retail stores jam down our throats months in advance they might as well just have holiday departments all year long

I have been stumbling over Halloweenie candy displays for 4 weeks already. They were up around here before the back-to-school displays. Since I live “up north” I really don’t need a calendar to tell me what season it is BUT they insist that I need to know IF I shop in their store. The problem now is I get confused because they are always 3 to 5 months earlier than the calendar. I’m kinda surprised I haven’t seen any Valentine candies or even a chocolate Easter bunny. OH WAIT – forgot the Dollar Store had some.

they’re right next to the halloween dragons

I only buy the real deal …

and my Yule log is last year’s tree …!

( d.a.m.n those “no burn” days )

When I lived in Florida, the local K-Mart would put Xmas decorations (including artificial trees) out on display in mid-August. Disgusting.

I’ve already seen an artificial tree, last week.

our favorite home center and the ritzy chocolatier down the street from it already have their halloween decorations up so the christmas decorations can’t be far behind…

fun fact: halloween is now japan’s most popular holiday…

Ha, my Costco put out the artificial trees up at the end of August.

The annual Bronner’s catalog showed up in my snail mail this past Monday.
