You know this holiday thing has gone too far when...

So, I thought it was a bit ridiculous when the Xmas stuff rolled out in September, pushing the fall stuff out of the way. I mean, we haven't *had* Halloween or Thanksgiving yet - must we make room for Xmas already?

On Oct 1 I notice that the apt down the street from me has put out a jack o' lantern. On Oct 1st. Seriously. How long do they think pumpkins last?

On Oct 2nd I walk down the street and see that some teenager has smashed the jack o' lantern all over the sidewalk. This makes me saddest of all. Vandalism strictly a Nov 1st thing, or there's no point.

THAT is hysterically funny. :)

Yeah, I saw the pumpkin when I visited you Tuesday. I hadn't noticed the lantern beforehand, though. Sad.

Oh god. I haven't been in a supermarket in a few days -- are they going to be playing Xmas music already?
