Stupid Manufacturers

annuinYesterday 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.

Date: 2007-08-10 05:18 pm (UTC)I took a picture in 2000 when I was in Tokyo before thanksgiving and they were putting up all of these dummy Santas on a building, and at the time it was funny because it was November and stuffed Santas and everyone I showed it to got a kick out of it. Now, that'd be late in the season...
