Don't ruin the holidays

Why?

Why are there Halloween cookies on display at Safeway?
It is not yet October.

Why?

Why was Christmas Vacation playing on the T.V.?
It's not even October yet.

There should be no Halloween references* until at least October. There should be no Thanksgiving references at least until after Halloween. There should be no Christmas references until after Thanksgiving. Everything has a time and place. It should be kept this way. Part of what makes the holidays enjoyable and special is that you have to wait for them. They aren't supposed to be around every day.

For shame.
