We carved our Halloween pumpkins today and I noticed something troubling from the retail sector.

We seem to be getting ahead of ourselves when it comes to holiday promotion. Halloween hasn’t even  arrived and the Christmas displays are taking over our storefronts. I think I may have seen a small selection of Valentine’s Cards and the Thanksgiving display was labelled 2011.

Ellie designed her pumpkin with tears streaming down his face. She said, he was crying because he was so happy Halloween was finally here. I think the tears are in response to how quickly he’ll be forgotten.

Merry Christmas pumpkins. Lest we forget.
