It has been nothing this Summer to turn on the TV and channel surf, finding several stations advertising Christmas decorations and various gift ideas. I wonder how many people dripping sweat coming in from the outside are eager to see the "beautiful angel ornament", or Mrs. Pringles Cookies or whatever.
We have not even hit Labor Day, and I am bombarded by Christmas already. Home shopping networks have smiling hosts pushing little candy cane candles that appear to have real flames!! Oh boy! I have been in some stores already that have Christmas trees. The trend for this approaching Fall appears to be mixing Halloween with Christmas. "Happy HalloThanksMAS!!" Thanksgiving is almost non-existent - like the middle child- and Christ is left out of the picture anyway in retail, so the name is appropriate.
I would like to enjoy the coming cooler days and Autumn colors without the flash of red and green, with rein deer prancing on TV or in store windows. I don't know how we started to bleed one holiday into the next, but this really needs to stop.
My mother wants to look at Fall decorations at a home center store nearby. I figure we better get there before September ends, or we may be looking at Easter Eggs..
