It started in the middle of September, believe it or not. I walked into Target and the back-to-school stuff was gone and there, next to the Halloween costumes and candy, were Christmas lights and decorations.Yep, you read that right -- Christmas in September. Now, I'm all for keeping the good will toward men going as long as possible, but do we really need all that kitsch so early? And what do you do if you do want to get started on the yuletide decorations but you also want some ghouls and goblins for Halloween?
I'm thinking that a Santa hat on a skeleton might work. Instead of reindeer, there could be eight tiny hellhounds pulling a sleigh. And cookies and milk would be right out -- a dead rat and goblet of blood instead?
Heck, while we're at it, we could toss in all the holidays and then we could just leave everything up all year! Perhaps a demon cutting a Valentine's heart out of the New Year's Baby? Red, white, and blue Easter eggs? I think this could really work!

Last year I was coming home from work on Halloween and I got off the skytrain one station early, just for the hell of it. The station was in the mall and one of the entrances was in Sears so I decided to go through there.
I was kind of weirded out to see tons and tons of Christmas decorations (garlands, trees, snow men, Santa statues, everything) and one sad, lonely little pumkin on one of the counters.
I took a picture, but its still on my phone a year later. :P
