today while out shopping for christmas
i unexpectedly ran into my old friend,
valentine’s day.

the overlapping of these planes was confusing.”

It is unreal how much things are rushed …. At some point they may as well just leave all holiday stuff out all year ….

I guess you don’t want to leave your Valentine’s shopping to last minute, but this may be a little much! Great post, Beth!

Well, at least the xmas stuff is beginning to go on sale. If you hurry you might just be able to pick up a good deal before it’s all gone.

VD always goes out right after Christmas on the holiday wheel, and I’d guess that store ran low on Xmas stuff due to the strange year it’s been. We’ve been forced to fill empty counters with the next holiday in line many time before where I work…

Pretty soon summer things will be out. Eventually, none of it will go away and they will just have aisles for different holidays all year long.

It’s not a surprise; given that “Blursday” was a word of the year, maybe the holidays are all beginning to blur together as well…
