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.

Yeah, I noticed pre-fab Autumn/Halloween stuff there when I was shopping for cake supplies for Dashiell's birthday. Which was mid-July.

Like you I forgave them some of their transgressions because obviously crafting for the holidays takes time and you need supplies early. But a supermarket really doesn't have that excuse.
