      True but it's still hard to find those strands of clear mini lights in the off-season around here.

      I use them for my ficus bushes in the office. I guess I'll just have to buy up a few strands as soon as the Christmas stuff goes on sale so I'll have them for when the strands on the bushes start going out.

        My local supermarket had fruit mince pies, specially marked "Christmas", for sale from 2nd of July. At first I thought they were for "Christmas in July", but they are still for sale, with some other merchandise starting to appear.
        What was the "best before" date on those pies? If it's before Christmas, that's plain disgusting - a Christmas sale for something that'll be past its prime by Christmas.

          I suppose I can think of worse things that can happen than having Halloween candy year round...

            Our Fall/Halloween themed catalogs (with some Winter/Christmas items) started arriving at houses around mid-July. I've had a few people call up and get miffed that a.) we don't have a Christmas catalog to send out to them upon their request and b.) that we don't do waiting lists for catalogs and they will need to (horror of horrors) actually call back in a month or so and see if we have one that can be requested.

                  I bet nearly everyone thinks Christmas creep is a fairly new thing; think again:

                  Yes, even as far back as 1959 we had Christmas creep!

                  And earlier that same year we go the opposite extreme:

                  I mean c'mon, who doesn't love Christmas carols...in February?
