Thankgoodness for Halloween & Thanksgiving

Ever wonder, in the over commercialized world that we live in what would happen if we didn't have Halloween and Thanksgiving to block the glut of Christmas merchandise from coming out say in mid September? We last night in the Tesco I discovered that it would indeed come out in mid September. As I was walking up and down the aisles looking for food I glanced down the aisle that changes theme with the seasons. It was marked Autumn Garden/School Supplies but it was clearly stocked with Christmas goodies. I guess the last thing to be delivered will be the sign to mark the aisle for Christmas. We still have 3.5 months left to go.

The leaves have begun to turn colo(u)r here, and should keep the grounds keeping staff busy until well into February.
