I was driving home from work the other day with two of my boys. As we drive into my neighborhood, my twelve year old cries foul. I ask him what he is talking about and he says, “It’s still September and people are putting up Halloween decorations.”
Now I’m not one to run from Halloween. I think it is a great day. One of the best of the year. It’s not great because of the candy or the costumes (wait… maybe that part is good). It is great because it is my birthday… I digress.
What gives people the right to put up the Halloween stuff before October? Most of what I have seen was put up before the official beginning of fall (that was Tuesday). So… tomorrow… I’m going to take some pictures of the offenders work and post it here… you be the judge.
Wait… what is that noise… is Walmart putting up Christmas decorations already?

My Halloween decorations are out of the attic and waiting in boxes in the garage. Scarecrows, pumpkins, and fall foliage went out about two weeks ago. Witches, haunted houses, ghosts, etc will have to wait until this coming weekend. I think I’m going to set that stuff up on Oct. 4. Here’s the thing, though…I don’t do outdoor decorations for Halloween. I love Halloween…but not enough to put stuff in my yard.
Dillards and Macys have Christmas trees set up already. My mother-in-law asked me if I had made out my daughter’s Christmas list yet. Holy Crap, people.
This is the world-longest-comment. I will return to see pictures soon.
Dude,
Wasn’t this a Peanuts episode?
