Tues. night, Sept.7, strolled into the local WM (sorry, don't mean to pick on them, coulda been any chain!), and there it was ........ a Christmas display!!!!!! Those silly animated lawn figures.

The day after Labor Day!

Geeeeeeeeesh!

And Valentine's Day is just around the corner....

I said it before, and I'll say it again, if the stores had room I bet they would stock Christmas stuff all year around, and it would sell.

So, you think that's early eh?.....

When I worked at TRU last weekend, I was doing something on the sales floor and thought I heard "Frosty the Snowman" playing over the intercom. I realized that we were playing Christmas music before Labor Day!

I asked my boss why. He said that the tape machine had a problem and had eaten up all of the other tapes. I think I would have just had NO music, rather than Christmas tunes in September. I bet some of our customers probably thought it was a scheme to get them in the holiday shopping mood.

Actually, I've talked with several people over the last few weeks who were in fact stockpiling for Christmas, which is probably the wiser thing to do. If you wait until after October is over, forget it! The Ebay sellers will probably have the hottest stuff by then.

I'm definitely NOT ready for Christmas.

I didn't know they had cameras out that take pictures of future events. :lol: Just joking, but I noticed the date in the corner of the picture says 9/14/04.

It's hard to think about Christmas when it's in the upper 90s to 100+.

There's still a lot of summer left. I'll think about Christmas when December rolls in.
