                   It's not even the end of September yet …

We were out and about today and The Younger kept insisting upon going to
Wal★Mart [1]; I suppose he wanted to buy the toy department (or rather, us to
buy him the toy department, it being so close to his birthday and all) so we
capitulated and the lot of us (Spring [2], her father (who came in late
yesterday), The Older, The Younger and I) ended up walking into the local
Wal★Mart SuperCenter (clearing customs took forever!) only to find the
melodious strains of Christmas carols being piped in over the loud speakers
and shelves filled with festive Yule-tide decorations.

Words fail me …

It's not even the middle of September and already the Christmas season is
upon us …

I guess that's what happens when you enter a Wal★Mart SuperCenter on a Friday
the 13^th.
