It's Only October

This afternoon I ran in Wal-Mart for a quick errand and came across the fact that their "Seasonal" section is set and ready to go for Christmas and it's October, it's only OCTOBER!!!

After shaking my head in disbelief on how far American consumerism has come I proceeded to walk the isles. I actually experienced something I've never experienced before at the Wal-Mart Christmas section: all items were in their own place, the greeting cards were organized, decorations weren't broken or messed up. I even saw poinsettias in all sorts of colors I've never seen before - blue, white and gold!

However, I did not make a single Christmas purchase - I refuse to feed the system. Christmas sales in October are nothing but a shame.
