What is This I Don't Even--

[caitri]

Okay so Scott and I went to go get the last holiday odds and ends (ie., general staples, a veggie tray to take to Anna's party tomorrow, last gift cards for family), and THIS was what we saw from the express checkout at the grocery store:



First off, they are getting the EASTER candy out with the CHRISTMAS TREE still up.

(Let's take a moment.)

(Moment taken?)

(Good.)

Secondly, it's Christmas EVE and I now want Cadbury eggs. I want to savor my seasonal treats ONE SEASON AT A TIME, OKAY MASS CULTURE??

Okay, I'm going to go be an adult now. And watch cartoons.

In our little hunk o' Texas, they put out the Christmas stuff right after Halloween (not right after Thanksgiving which would still suck, I think, but still have a somewhat tradition of sucking), but Halloween.

although actually I admit I buy Cadbury eggs when I see them places even when it's not Easter because they are something I'm addicted to

But still, right with you on the timing.

Also, I hear ya on the Cadbury eggs addiction, omg. *will be buying them post-outrage*

*heh* I never actually think of dates/times (brain does not work that way): it's more like "how dare they start one holiday so early!" without thinking of exactly how early. Time flows on endlessly and all that.
