I don’t mean to alarm anyone but a couple of weeks ago, I walked into a Kmart and spotted an employee unpacking Christmas merch - yep.
The “I refuse to accept it’s nearing Christmas already” part of my brain thought it was necessary to tell him it was too early.
He agreed with a knowing smile (still perhaps that should have stayed an inside thought).
Fast forward to last night, while taking the dog for a leisurely evening walk, I nearly tripped over from the sight of Christmas lights adorning my neighbor's front lawn.
John?! Calm down mate. It's not even November.
If like me, you're still mentally stuck somewhere in January, I feel you.
But alas, the holiday season is creeping up on us, and whether we’re ready or not (apparently my neighbour John very much is) Christmas is less than ten weeks away.
