I went to the Target at lunch today to pick up a few things we needed. Naturally they were scattered all over the store, so I ran across the halloween costumes and decorations. That’s fine. I expect them to be there. It’s fall. It’s two days from October. I should see halloween stuff.
What I shouldn’t see is Christmas stuff. That’s right Christmas. All along the back wall, at least 30 feet, every shelf, all stocked full. Fresh and new in green and red packages. Lights, tree stands, garland, all the standard stuff. ON SEPTEMBER 29TH! I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
This is just wrong on so many levels. I haven’t been to this particular Targer in a while. They might have started stocking the shelves weeks ago. Even if they did it all last night, it’s wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. It’s too much for me to dedicate a whole month to a single holiday. Now it’s three months? Please make it stop.
