We went to the mall over Labor Day weekend and passing through some of the department stores, I was disappointed to see they have their Christmas decorating displays out already. In September?
All I can say is: What the fuck? I love Christmas, don’t get me wrong, but September seems way early.
“Happy Valentines Day! Get your Christmas supplies early!”
I liked that Daily Show last week where he told the rabbi in South Carolina that “Christmas may make a comeback.”
Otherwise, I got nothing substantial to add, but at least you look like a profound INTERNET LUMINARY if you have gaggles of pundits commenting on your blog, right?

I’m thinking about about this and here’s the reasoning about this:
These days of the Internet, working 5 days a week, taking care of children, how often do people over the age of 20 go to an enclosed mall setting? (I am explicitly excluding strip-malls because that’s where Binny’s are often located.)
The merchants need to remind us early (and often due to adult ADD in us and CRH in our parents) that an important event is coming hoping to spur us to spend our dosh on whatever tired insipid wornout claptrap they’re peddling at full price early on because they’re not desperate enough to put it on sale yet.
The time to do that is NOW.
The time to act is NOW.
I like short sleeved shirts. Size XL.
Ho! Ho! Ho!

Expanding on Maggio, they probably just want to remind us early so that we don’t just order online at the last minute due to procrastination. Not that that would ever happen to my wife. She starts christmas shopping in April. It’s unseemly.
