I walked into the HomeGoods in Stuart, Florida this past Tuesday to kill some time as I waited for my sister Susan to finish a hair appointment, and was surprised to see a large display of Halloween merchandise at the very front of the store, as seen in the photograph above. I was also surprised with the amount of floor space devoted to Halloween. To be clear, last Tuesday was August 5th, exactly 12 weeks and 3 days before that ghoulish holiday. That is the equivalent of starting the Christmas shopping season on September 29th. Does this have something to do with getting the merchandise in stock before Trump's big, beautiful tariffs go into effect or is there a substantial number of Satanic cults in the area who buy this stuff year-round? I guess the answer might come around September 29th if we see all the stores decorated for the holidays by then and Christmas songs coming out of the speakers non-stop. Which means over 12 weeks of listening to "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" over and over again. Forget about Trump - can America survive THAT?
