We Don't Have Holidays Anymore

[Motorpsychology]

We now have seasons. I was searching my local big box stores for some 4ft fluorescent tubes, and I saw Menards has Halloween stuff out. It's the middle of August fercrineoutloud. Oh, well. Now kids can pick out their Halloween costumes while the get their back-to-school stuff. Halloween has now evolved into a season. Our local greenhouse has their haunted hayrides starting September 28th. Valentines Day is on deck- the heart merch is only out two or so weeks before rather than twelve, which would mean you could get your kids' Valentines cards when you get the stocking stuffers.

So flipping annoying. Damn retailers are just itching to put up Xmas decorations as they remove the July 4th stuff. Irritating to put it mildly.

Bah! That's why you have to make up your own holiday. It really messes them up!

I went to Lowe's an they had the large motion activated scary things on display up front next to the patio furniture....I don't think it was Aug yet


It annoys me, but I usually wait to buy stuff like that until close the day

Yep, seen it too. And as soon as the Halloween stuff comes down, Christmas stuff will be going up.

Don't ask questions. Just consume product and then get excited for next product!

The Fort Campbell KY Exchange has had it's Halloween stuff out almost a month also. Our Lowes also has its Halloween stuff up. Lookout here comes all the Pumpkin Spice stuff coming in.

10-4. The current season's stuff goes on sale near the actual day.

That's way to early! But I had to painfully see Annie watching a whole month of Christmas shows on the Hallmark channel back in July. That channel is bad enough then they have to add in their Christmas in July shows for the whole month.

Maybe it's due to a misinterpretation by the marketing folks. As they drive around the residential areas of Anytown, Your Country Here and see all the brown wreaths still on the front door, Christmas light strings dangling off of the rain gutters and the weathered plastic Santas or Rudolphs thrown into the bushes so the lawn can be mowed, they perceive this as folks really like Christmas stuff, so let's sell it half the year!

I have to go back to Amazon now and look for Easter candy. Don't want to be last, you know.

Is to much to ask to get past one "holiday" before starting the next!
