It's Too Early or Is it Too Late

My local all purpose, a little bit of this and that store, has put out their Christmas decorations. Halloween and Thanksgiving occupy a small space compared to the shelves of red and green trinkets and gifts.

Will people soon be blowing up a huge inflatable Santa and tethering him down on the lawn?

Will ghosts and pumpkins share space with prancing reindeer?

Where are we galloping to and what have we left behind?
