                    It's Christmas time in the city stores

I'm reading about the latest signs for the End of the Civilization [1] (the
latest items that can be sold at your local comic book shop) when I see some
Christmas-themed items. And that was enough to remind me of a small incident
that happed a few days ago.

Bunny and I went to The Cracker Barrel [2] for dinner, and in passing through
the gift store section (which you have to do to get to the dining room area)
we came across a few Christmas-themed items for sale.

It's not even August [3] yet!

I mean, I could understand seeing Christmas-themed merchandise this early if
you were in Christmas, Florida [4] (although I didn't see any Christmas-
themed stuff the last time I went through there [5]). But I'm not in
Christmas, Florida.

Then again, I'm one to talk—we still have our Christmas wreath on the front
doot at Casa New Jersey.
