I went to Walgreens at lunch to get some halloween candy for my desk.

They were putting the X-mas decorations up.

WILL YOU PEOPLE STOP IT? YOU'RE LETTING ALL THE HOLIDAY OUT!!!!

No one else at work is dressing up, but they not only said I could, but when I demurred about the "really fancy outfit" because I can't dress mysely, two of them offered to help me.

Guess I get to be the office freak show tomorrow. I just have to figure out what kind of heels I need to wear to compensate for not wearing my farthingale. Otherwise I won't fit behind my desk.

How nauseating. I've heard a couple of Christmas commercials. A while back, I read an article that said retailers were surprised that consumers were not interested in doing their Christmas shopping in September, despite lower prices. I refuse to think about Christmas until December. Christmas does not come before Halloween, ick. Enjoy the costume-age! I don't think I can wear funny clothes, corsets don't work in the lab too well.

I will do holiday shopping anytime - as sometimes I am getting cool stuff from artists at faire. But no decorating until at least the day after Turkeyday and even then I don't turn on all the decorations till December 1, and unless I'm sick the come down on 12th night.

The whole point of a "holiday" is that it is a special time that is different from the rest of the time. If it lasts 3 months, you dilute all the special out.
