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.

Things rush so fast!
Get used to it. The Christmas season used to start right after Thanksgiving. Then it started right after Halloweeen. Then it started right after Labor Day. Now it starts right after the Fourth of July. By next year, it'll start right after President's day. In another few years we'll catch up and be back to starting right after Thanksgiving. Maybe.
I saw someone in a store pricing Snowman carrier bags during the week.
