...And a happy Valentine's Day???
Would you believe it, there we were on Sunday the
23rd in our local Walgreen's, and out on display was
a header full of giant stuffed animals for Valentine's Day!
What the hell is up with that? Why would anyone even dream
of shopping for Valentine's Day before Xmas? Isn't there enough
to worry about getting done without leapfrogging to the next holiday?
This no break betwen holidays is really getting out of hand, at
least give people a little breathing room before the next
'shopping holiday'. It didn't used to be like that back in prehistoric
times, it really wasn't necessary to shop early for gift giving
occassions that were months away, that's just being downright
greedy.
Besides, what's the point...are they expecting people to shop early,
then lose the stuff and have to re-shop?
Pretty soon, they'll have to combine the pre-Xmas sales with the
after Xmas clearance sales, and then how will they tell them apart?
