Rushing Things

Retail never ceases to amaze me.

It is only the middle of August and the holidays are creeping into the stores. Yesterday at Giant Eagle I saw Peppermint Mocha creamer and Pumpkin Spice creamer in the dairy aisle. These are usually limited editions that only come out for a few months from Oct through Jan.

Uh really, it's August, I am not ready for pumpkin.

Oh and Giant Eagle's going further...pumpkin cookies and pumpkin roll in the bakery.

WTF!!

It is not time for freaking PUMPKIN!

But apparently the memo didn't go out on that....because Bath and Body Works are rolling out their pumpkin scented anti-bacterial soaps now.

Really? Its time?

C'mon people, the kids haven't even gone back to school!!!!

I guess I better start thinking about the Christmas Mix CD...because they've obviously moved up the holidays since last year.
