Commercialization Run Amuck
So... I was at Walmart (again- why in the world do I not buy stock?) and I saw something that completely caught me off guard. I mean jaw-dropping off guard.
The stockers were filling the shelves... with Halloween costumes. I checked my cell phone- yup, I was right. August 17th, and there are Halloweeen costumes on the shelves.
This drives me insane! Halloween goodies get purchased in October. Pilgrim decorations get taken out after my birthday. I do not put up my Christmas tree or start Christmas shopping until after Thanksgiving.
Things like this make me grumpy. Very grumpy.
