While doing the grocery shopping today I saw the first bits of Christmas candy on the shelves. I'm torn between knowing that it's far too early to start thinking about Christmas and my inherent love of the Christmas/New Year season. I don't get excited for the commercial side of the holidays – the presents and the high level of alcohol consumption. I do enjoy the get-togethers with friends and family. I love that it's usually the start of proper, hot summery weather. I definitely don't complain about a few weeks off work. That being said, I'm enjoying the start of spring right now and not thinking at all about holiday arrangements. I don't know who, if anyone, is buying holiday candy at this point, but there should be a rule that stores have to wait until at least November before they can start inundating us with useless, unhealthy holiday items.
