'Tis Not the Season

jennifer · September 25, 2012 ·

Last October, I blogged about wanting to pick apples and Halloween costumes instead of being greeted by inflatable Santas in big box store parking lots.
That post was in mid-October of 2011. This picture was taken last Friday:

This picture was taken in Target on 9/21/12. It was next to the Halloween costumes.

It’s September, people. Can we stop breaking the Christmas decorations out so early? The above picture was technically taken in the summer.
The first day of fall was Saturday, the 22nd. I barely want to address Halloween, never mind Christmas.
And why do we always have to skip over Thanksgiving?
I just started the new soccer schedule on Saturdays. We haven’t even picked apples or bought pumpkins yet.
Also, why is Target selling a flamingo wearing a Santa Claus hat? (That, of course, was Biz’s favorite. He calls them flingos.)
I think I’ve made my point.
Enjoy the seasons as they come. But not before.
‘Tis not the season.
Have you seen Christmas decorations out in stores? Please share, so I can avoid those stores.
