It's Too Early For Christmas

You know, I like Christmas as much as any other Gentile. But, stores displaying Christmas decorations, wrapping paper, clothing and tree accesories in September is jumping the gun a bit, don't you think?  Just this past week I saw these types of items at JoAnn Fabrics and Walmart.  Santa Claus should not be displayed at any retail outlet until after Jason Vorhees and Jigsaw have been packed away until next year.  I shouldn't see reindeer next to hairy spiders or angels next to vampires.  Christmas decorations should not be visible until my breath is visible.  Serioulsy, do any of you want to see Christmas decorations before November first?  I don't. It's assanine.  Who in the world buys snowman ornaments in September?  Have any of you ever purchased elf toes socks before Halloween has come and gone?  I know retail outlets in America have run amock with merchandising and commercialism, but there has to be a line drawn somewhere.  Having Rudolph one aisle over from Leatherface is crossing the line.  So please, Taregt, Walmart, JoAnn Fabrics, Michael's and all the rest of you, but the Christmas stuff away until November.  It's too early for Dasher and Dancer.
