Already?

I saw my first Christmas-themed commercial this week for Denny's. They're offering holiday pancakes filled with stuff like cranberries and covered in creamy sauces. Each "holiday" pancake platter that was shown looked like a sweet, gooey mess. But behind the display of pancakes were Nutcracker dolls and you know what that means: Christmas is coming! It doesn't matter that it's the second week of October and we have yet to get through Halloween and Thanksgiving, Christmas is coming! Every year I feel like the Christmas season gets earlier and earlier. I've seen Christmas stuff out in the stores since September. Don't get me wrong. I love Christmas, but I hate the commercialism of it.
