One holiday season at a time, people...!

As we all know, the stores like to get an early start on Christmas - decorations, trees, giant inflatable light-up snowmen...

I went to a Home Depot today, and they have all their decorations and trees up NOW. They were putting up snow-globes and Christmas trees up in September.

I can't believe we're at the point where we're putting that stuff up BEFORE Halloween decorations even get put out. At this rate, there's going to be Christmas displays during the summer next year. I love the holiday like anyone, but this is getting way out of hand... What next, Christmas trees with Candy Corn strings? Or Santa Claus carved into Pumpkins? Can we at least have Halloween left alone? Thanksgiving is getting covered over by 'Winter Holidays' as it is...

Has anyone else seen this in the local stores yet?
