Remember when you were a kid, how time seemed to crawl ever so slowly by.. The wait for Halloween catapulted you into the big leagues of countdowns..tic tock Christmas is t-minus how many days away??
I only ask because last week I stopped into Ikea only to find trees trimmed in full Christmas celebratory style-ala-ikea. Whaaat? October...so is it me or is it really a stretch?
Who is responsible for this phenomenon? As an ahhm..American, I used to think my twisted culture was the culprit. But alas, sweet Swedish ikea has succumbed to the capitalist cocktail that America shakes and serves up even in these economic times.
Oh yeah, the economy is still being shaken like a snow globe, so it's apropos to have the holiday cha-ching so early in autumn I suppose..
Yes, I like the change of the seasons here in Toronto. The capitalism I thought I left behind...not so much.
Does Santa accept letters from us a wee bit earlier due to our proximity to the pole. Hope so.
