Christmas Decorations in Stores
 
Christmas Decorations in Stores? I am officially grossed out. We stopped into a Food Lion grocery store in north Raleigh Sunday afternoon to find it decorated with Christmas swags, Santa Clauses, Merry Christmas signs and all the Christmas candy displayed.
 
 
-I think the thing that grosses him (and me) out more than the stores putting up Christmas decorations up early is the stores _taking them down_ before Christmas is even here! When we were driving over the weekend, I found myself muttering about one particular house which had lights up already. It wasn't until we got closer that we realized all the lights were orange and white. Instead of being Christmas lights up early, they were Halloween lights up late! -Garden Ridge (warehouse-style home decor/craft store) had their Christmas trees, candles, baskets, etc all out in September. I was in Victoria's Secret on Friday night (they sent me a coupon for a free pair of panties, so what the heck!), and suddenly realized that the elevator music in the background was Silent Night. Ack! They're just trying to stress me out since I haven't even thought about what to get people for Christmas, let alone do any actual shopping for it yet....
