Season Treason

With Thanksgiving still two days away, seeing this Christmas tree in the agency leads me to ask ... why is it that we're seeing so much blending of the seasons? With consumer spending slightly curbed this year by perceptions around our economy and oil prices, it's no wonder that marketers start reminding us a little earlier each year to get out and shop for the holidays. (i.e. holiday isles set and twinkly tunes in retail at Halloween). Guess each of us should be making our wish lists during Easter in '08 ;o)
