It's Getting To Look A Lot Like Christmas

It's that time of year again...the no man's land between Halloween and Christmas. Somehow, Thanksgiving has gotten bumped by all the retail craziness. Today in Target, as I picked through the 50% off Halloween merchandise, workers were frantically setting up the Christmas aisles.

I might even go all out and get matching address labels! So look out people, your card will be in the mail soon!
