    While out on a delivery Friday ,Nov 1, night I saw my first outside Xmas decoration
    I'm lost without a paddle and headed up SH*T creek.

    Good grief. I expect it in retail*, but....

    *I got hired at a decor/furnishing store in August and they already had fall stuff out. We got Christmas the last week of September.

      I wish horrorday decorations would stay in the months they belong. When I was a janitor for the Little Shop of Horrors, I was absolutely annoyed by seeing Christmas kitsch - in the summertime.

      I'm dreading the arrival of the Christmas carols.

        Is the Christmas Creep any relation to the Grinch and/or Krampus?

          Mrs. TGK, bought a new artificial tree and stated plans to assemble it this weekend
          Possibly not a bad idea to inure the cats, but still.

            I used to work with a guy who dressed up as Santa every year for Halloween (with one of those name tag stickers that said "55 Shopping Days until Christmas").

                  I think this NSFW song would be appropriate for this thread.

                  I'm not afraid of the Christmas Creep or Krampus. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to fix a slat in my bed. I'll be under the bed if you need me.

                    and it just goes on. On Monday night I delivered to two households that already had Xmas Trees put up

                      I've got an artificial palm tree in front of my fireplace, it's been there since last Christmas since I said "screw it, I'm leaving it there year-round" instead of pulling it from the corner to the fireplace every Thanksgiving. I don't have Christmas decorations on it year-round, but I do have the tree skirt, two snowmen, two flamingos, and the stockings already hung. Bonus points in me having most of the Christmas gifts wrapped and under the tree already.

                      *goes into hiding*
                      Eh, one day I'll have something useful here. Until then, have a cookie or two.
