Merry … wait, what? It’s not even Thanksgiving yet, you say? We’ve been hearing Christmas music in stores for a couple weeks now and saw trees going up at Target the day after Halloween. This photo by erin*carly shows her office trimming the office “holiday” tree on Monday. You almost can’t blame the stores this year, which are desperate for people to start gift shopping, but I swear I will one day start a campaign based solely on the platform of banning all Christmas activity until Black Friday, and the playing of remixed “hip” carols, like the stores at Pentagon City seem to prefer, entirely. Perhaps I’ll call it the “War on…,” well, you get the idea.

Happy holidays everyone and remember, only 27 shopping days left!
