Last week (September 9th to be exact) Spencer and I were in Fred Meyer looking for a lunch bag for Carson. We were directed by an employee to the seasonal department where the last of the school supplies were. While there I noticed that behind the back to school aisle was the Halloween/ fall aisle and then a Christmas aisle! CHRISTMAS! IN SEPTEMBER! Is it just me or does that make you nauseas as well? How am I ever supposed to teach my children the joys of dressing up and gorging themselves on candy for the night? Or to be thankful and gorge themselves on turkey and pumpkin pie with the ever looming Santa with his giant sack-o-toys? Once Carson catches sight of jolly old St. Nick in the store he'll think it must be coming soon and then the "I want" list will begin! Are stores really hurting that bad for business that they need to start now? Well I won't be buying a single item until at least the day after Thanksgiving and that is a promise!
