I was in Kmart yesterday and saw an employee putting together a lighted Christmas tree. I don’t like to see Christmas displays before Halloween, but I wasn’t going to say anything.

Another shopper called him on it, though. She said, “Please tell me you feel bad putting up Christmas stuff now.”

He shook his head and replied, “No, it means there’s 26 weeks until spring.”
