Christmas in July

I went to the bookstore this weekend and saw that they dedicated a small section of their store to Christmas items on sale and declared it "Christmas in July"....

when i saw it, it felt so weird, i could have sworn we just left that dang stressful holiday, now its coming back up again in less than 5 months...

weird confused
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

well i guess its better....now that i think about it, it does make sense to have christmas things on sale in the summer because its not stressful, but soon as Christmas nears and the malls start stocking stuff with those awful decorations in September, thats when the fingernails start to get eaten.

That is the marketers goal. It's in hope that people will feel an impulse to jump on the band waggon and buy christmas presents all year long to increase sales and such money grubbing tactics.

Happy Birthday Jesus!
