Went into Home Depot this week to buy a light bulb, and here’s what I saw:
I know it’s a little silly, Christmas stuff early in October. I know it’s all about retail, extending the buying season, promoting commerce. But hey! It makes me smile. So I’m okay with it.
I’m not one of those people who likes to overbuy and overdecorate for the Christmas season. In fact, this year we may not even put up a tree. Traditionally, if I buy Christmas stuff at all, it’s on December 26, at 50% off, so there’s not much chance of me breaking the budget on Christmas do-dads. But there is a very good chance that I’m going to get that warm fuzzy feeling inside, everytime I see the signs of Christmas surrounding me, whether it’s in the stores, the neighborhoods, on TV, wherever and whenever those signs might show up — even as early as October!
