You might have seen the sunrise differently this morning from your perspective, like, it's snowing in many parts of the country and people there may have had visions of Frosty the Snowman on their horizon approaching into the holiday season. The syndrome is known as early onset of holiday....I forget the last part. At any rate, rumor has it that stores are planning to unleash pre-Thanksgiving sales on the general population. Aren't Thanksgiving sales essentially pre-Christmas sales replete with Christmas music? If they keep up the early sales trend, they'll be marking down unsold Xmas ornaments and gift wrapping paper by the last week of November. Happy Thanksgiving, just the same.

you're thinking turkey already?
kahuku- beat you to it, didn't I?
Don't buy any presents. Be Scrooge this year. Waste of money!
Nate- definitely this year Scrooge's breakout year. Also, why haven't they brought back Xmas season lights on the streets which I believe was discontinued because of the oil embargo way back when.
Because no one, including stores, is flush with cash, rumor has it that the Christmas toy stock that's in the stores now is it - there's no backup shipments arriving. So the sales aren't going to get much better than now.... Egads. They put the Christmas tree up on the New Haven green on HALLOWEEN - it's all just accelerated for the all mighty buck.
Ann- it does make you wonder whether that's also true with the manufacturers, too. Have they stopped making things for the remander of the year fearing that they'd be saddled with stock that no store orders. It's a chain reaction. Then workers in the manufacturing sector get less hours and they buy less which affects other manufacturers.
