Thatababy by Paul Trap for October 02, 2016

it’s too early indeed

Some places have had Christmas stuff for a month already.

Let us get through Halloween for Jacks sake!

the big box stores have giant inflatable Halloween in Isle One. Giant prelit Christmas trees in Isle Two. Poor Thanksgiving is treated like an unwanted step-child.

Depending on where ya live, some stores never take ’em down.

Just yesterday I heard a Christmas song in a TV commercial… NOOOOOOOooooooooooooo…

Was at the supermarket this morning and they have started putting out Christmas stuff.

as soon as halloween is over the christmas stuff will be up

NOOOOOOO, indeed.

That song"It’s the most wonderful time of the year" is a big lie. so much stuff to do, almost obligatory extra work. Leading up to 1 day that is so commercialized it isn’t even close to what the real reason and the time of year of what it’’s supposed to be.It is closer to Saturnalia. ( may be spelled wrong) but it is from old gods and old nothing sacred about it.To many it is the most dreaded time of the year.When my kids were little I made big holiday of it and tried to make great memories for them. humbug. I do like the old movies and The Peanuts Christmas tho.

But Thatababy is thrilled.

Our supermarket had some of the Christmas ice cream in the freezer. There is also a Christmas tea out. When I saw the frozen food guy with all the ice cream and saw the White Christmas ice cream I was telling him to please put it back in storage. He said he wasn’t putting it out. I don’t mind if he puts out Peppermint Stick though. That’s one I wish I could get year-round.

I also did just order my mom’s Christmas present. I wanted to do it before I forgot what I wanted to get her. Besides, it’s out of stock right now and I don’t know how long I have to wait. And September was the month where I got a third paycheck. Fewer expenses.

Talk about a scary Halloween decoration!!

that’s me.
