Sure, sure it is October, and coming on Xmas Season, yet here we have Easter!
On the one hand I've never seen a single shred of Halloween existing here; they don't even grown Orange Pumpkins, just weird bumpy, icky, green, speckled ones. On the other hand this was the only candy that was individually wrapped, and for $15 bucks you would be (if there were any trick-or-treaters coming around oh, say after 9 p.m. when it is dark) handing out candy the size of individual Starburst. Now, the kids here even being deprived as they are of Halloween, would know somewhere in their gut they were being ripped off.
Oh, yes and Christmas Music over the intercom in October? Sure! Tacky Christmas themed junk everywhere? Absolutely!There are rules to the whole Holiday Season. Social rules that I feel (we) all know. Such as playing Christmas music is allowed the day after Thanksgiving, but forbidden before Thanksgiving. If you don't believe me, go to the Mall.
Christmas displays are not allowed until at least after the Halloween display comes down.
But what happens if there is NO Halloween, NOR Thanksgiving?
Anarchy.
That's what happens.

I was in our neighborhood Walgreens last night, and they already have a fully stocked Christmas aisle - but, thankfully, no Christmas music was playing. Anarchy narrowly averted.
