Stupid Manufacturers

Yesterday I went to the grocery store. They had their Halloween candy out already.


IT'S EARLY AUGUST.


I really hate how manufacturers and stores here put out holiday stuff so far in advance nowadays. It completely ruins my enjoyment by sheer overkill, by the time the holiday rolls around, I'm completely sick of all the decorations and peripheral marketing crap.

I don't want to see Halloween stuff in early August when it's close to 100F. Nor do I want to see Christmas crap before Halloween has actually come and gone, which will inevitably happen.

I totally agree (with the exception of online stores which inevitably have to deal with lengthy shipping times, so I can accept that they have to get started early). But seriously, mall shops and department stores? Wait till Septmeber at least!!!
