Columbus Day is the new Thanksgiving.

 Not too long ago, holiday shopping season began on Thanksgiving.

Then the sellabration leapt an entire month, all the way to Halloween.

On Monday, Macy’s set up Christmas trees in its windows.

The thermometer was pushing 90.

But the following day, the weather broke.  

Overnight, tomato season became apple season.

And Macy’s window décor seemed a little more at home.

But really, it could have waited ‘til Thanksgiving.

Humbug.

No fooling!  I'm shopping for flip-flops and have to wrangle myself around the ornament displays.  Eventually, Valentine's Day colours will be red and green.

You know i was just wondering about that myself when i was at some store and they were already playing christmas carols. i was like wtf, it's not even halloween yet!!!! and even that's pushing it. >( the holiday season is getting overrun by commercialism.

Last year, I remember Wal-Mart ran its first Christmas commercial around Halloween. It was doubly repulsive because of who it was and when it aired.

But of course our Columbus Day is Canada's Thanksgiving. I think I like their date better ... you're generally dealing with decent weather and the stress of Christmas shopping is (mostly) not on anyone's mind.

Christmas would be so cool if you didn't have to buy people presents.

Time to avoid the stores. I am just not ready for that kind of stress. Humbug seconded.
