'Tis the season...apparently

So, I was in my local Home Depot Saturday--that would be 27 September--when what to my wondering eyes should appear but...

Christmas decorations.

It was only about 300 square feet of display, but I'm sure that'll soon seek lebensraum & roll over the garden display like Panzers through Poland.

I'm not sure if this is the earliest I've ever seen holiday merchandise out, but it's creeping up there. Of course, it's not officially the season until you've seen your first Salad Shooter commercial...
