Tonight I ate at a popular national restaurant– never mind which one, but it rhymes with “Fracker Carol”– and in the adjoining store, I noticed that there were Hallowe’en objects mixed in with all of the normal year-round fare.
That was all right, but here we are just getting October well under way, and they’ve already rolled out their Christmas merchandise, and it’s already starting to shoulder its way in among the other seasonal merchandise.
Needless to say, *that* juxtaposition is *not* graceful. Not at all.
I am fraught with the image of the three Wise Men delivering their gifts of gold, myrrh, and Frankenstein.
