I received an e-mail from HRC today, advertising their limited-edition holiday ornament and holiday greeting cards.
Reality check: It’s still September.
I’ve heard rumors of people who do their holiday shopping this early, but I’m not sure I want to know anyone that organized. If I manage to have a Halloween costume ready for my son, I’ll consider it a success. Winter holiday shopping will commence no earlier than December 1. The only thing I prepared for this far in advance was the birth of my son, and I want to keep it that way. Otherwise we’ll end up with ridiculous situations like trick-or-treating for chocolate hearts, in order to be set for Valentine’s Day. Stop the insanity.
