Christmas In October

Two weeks ago I walked into the grand front-entrance of the mighty Canandaigua Weggers and discovered they already had their Christmas stuff up.
Uh, come on, guys. It’s not even Halloween yet, and we don’t have snow yet; although I’m sure it won’t be long.
A colorful sign was in front of the glittering fake Christmas-trees, and it said: “Christmas and other holidays are very special times in our lives. Some customers like to do their holiday shopping early, and others like the hustle-bustle of waiting until the very last minute.
By displaying early, we are allowing you make that decision.”
I can just imagine some mindless public-relations minion in the Weggers white-tower cogitating that drivel. Minions gather silently at a conference-table and dicker with the sign. Sure sounds like committee-speak.
Um, triumph of the almighty dollar. Why not just leave the stuff up all year? That’s what the towns do. Their Christmas-lights stay on the poles all year.
