Creepy Christmas

Better hurry. Only 117 shopping says left:

It's that special time of year again, when the first plush Santas, singing snow men and blown-glass Christmas ornaments begin to appear on store shelves.

[. . .]

Labor Day, Columbus Day and Halloween, much less Thanksgiving, are now mere speed bumps on the highway to Christmas, folded into the 115-day month of Septoctnocember.

Researchers call it "Christmas creep." That's shorthand for the ever-backward march of the holiday retail season.

You know. August.

What, you find it hard to muster yuletide spirit when you're wearing a bathing suit?

Well, too bad.

Funny....we get to see snowmen every month on the south side....around the first weekend of each month....

Oops.....WRONG TYPE of "snowmen"....(these guys don't just melt away, unfortunately)
