The retail world - Happy Valentine's Day!

My local Kroger store is chomping at the bit, waiting to switch over holiday merch.

Do you have your Valentine's yet? Geez, LOL, and all that. Just had to share how this has all become insane!

Then again, these retailers have had xmas decorations up since, what - Labor Day? LOL Naw, I know they went up before Halloween, so it was back in October my local K-Mart for one example had their xmas trees up.

Okay, my retail rant is over. Maybe we all just need to keep our Valentine's, St. Patrick's, Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas decorations up - 24/7. A real mish-mash - whadda think?

My first topic in a long, long time. Hey maybe we'll just say Happy Holiday to others and that greeting will cover all the holidays?

Okay then, my rant is over now.....he he

I noticed that yesterday when I went to Walmart. I still haven't gotten the Christmas decorations down and they working on Valentine's Day already.

I'm starting to get real good at not seeing any of the holiday junk in the store until it's time. The stores around me had Christmas stuff up in July!!!! The Christmas season isn't even over until January 6th and they're shoving Valentines junk down our throats, sheesh
