I’m likely going to be putting a toque on tonight when walking the dog, so they’re not far off.

Nobody has better algorithms for programming this stuff than those supposed laggards in Bentonville...
It looks silly but they usually know what they are doing.

Get one of those plastic sleds or for the time being a skate board and see how far she’s willing to pull. You know, for science.

Homedepot had a 15’ skeleton for $100 something. Not many lawn mowers though.

Fifteen feet ? Nice. We are up to three anatomically correct skeletons now, and a flotilla of plastic ones. My wife put her foot down after buying Phineas last year, no more.

No, no I have not.
I’d tell you a story about Old Navy in Kahului, Maui sometime but it reveals perhaps a bit too much personal information. Suffice it to say that the “corporate programming” can go a little overboard sometimes when it comes to inventory management.
If the intercom in Sam’s Club is playing Jingle Bells non-stop? Yeah, I’d draw the line there.

Considering Inauguration Day isn’t until January, the only question is whether our beloved president might step down or be forced out through other means by then.
Or whether Santa would bother with anyone in that hellhole this year.

Since Halloween and has been cancelled for 2020, this is maybe the one year I’m not too mad about skipping to Christmas, they’ve got to put something in their seasonal flex space.
Thanksgiving’s harder to commercialize, and may have to be cancelled as well. Or, “ postponed to November 2021" , in the current vernacular.

My family used to go to Frankenmuth once or twice a year. To aid the addiction my mom had outlets installed in the eaves of the house to make running the Christmas lights easier.

Her decorating methodology the first year in the new house was keep adding more strands till a breaker tripped, remove one strand, move to the next circuit, and repeat.

I don’t know if we have the choice, pretty sure my city is banning trick or treating this year to enforce social distancing. Of course, nothing improves police/community relations better than ordering the police to spend the evening driving around stopping children from getting candy.

you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
It is retail. They have been hammered this year by lock-downs and people leaving cities... do you honestly put any gimmick to try and sell stuff past them?
Including setting up for Christmas in August?

The all-Christmas music stations started last year I think the earliest before Christmas that I have ever witnessed.
The older I get, the more I focus on Advent and the spiritual journey toward Christmas. For the secular part, my family holds to the childhood traditions to keep the timing right for us and as a shield against the early start mania.

Oh, yes... the ridicule is well placed, no doubt.
But it is just not all that surprising that they do this sort of stuff anymore.
August is a bit early, though... Welcome back to school, kids, say hello to Santa Claus from a socially acceptable distance and shout through your mask what you want for non-specific Holiday Season this year.
Those of you not social distancing or wearing masks are going to get lumps of coal... at best.
