So now that Halloween is over
Have you put up your CHRISTMAS Decorations yet? When I was in the mall on HALLOWEEN, Bass Pro Shops already had a big christmas display right in front of the store.

2. LOL, at this point, Thanksgiving is just a dress rehearsal for Christmas
So far I've seen christmas displays up in Bass Pro Shops, Sears, and Home Depot. And FYE has a holiday section up for Christmas CDs.

8. I was stunned when I went to get extra candy for trick or treaters
and there was a santa statue right in the doorway of the drugstore. Ugh.

9. Oddly enough, Petsmart has their Christmas crap out for sale already.
I was there today, and my jaw about hit the floor when I saw the displays.

12. No, MaidenMaryland
Christmas themed pet toys! Why do you hate your cats that you give them second hand "gifts" like that?

14. Because it's the only thing they will fucking play with!
Give a cat a box and they will be happy for life. We have a fucking thousand little cat toys and they don't play with them.

Now Barbie toys, they love! Go figure!

:rofl:

11. Macy's and JC Penney have had their Christmas departments open for a couple of weeks now.
Of course, I remember seeing Halloween stuff right after Labor Day!

(We don't decorate until December.)

13. I think I am the only person on the planet who gets excited
when the put out the Christmas stuff. I know they rush it like crazy these days. Valentine candy will be on sale after Christmas. But I enjoy all of these holidays that it only builds up my anticipation. Blame me!!!! :P

17. I do agree.
Every holiday is pushed way too early these days. $$$$$$$. But yay!! I am so excited about the holidays. I think it must remind me of being a kid because I gripe about all the money I spend, but I am loving it at the same time.

19. Still trying to get all the demons out of the house
from the cursed candy.
Burning them in the woodstove this morning.Takes the chill out of the house.
