VIOLATORS
TARGET
Easily the naughtiest of the retail division, every week in October the seasonal section skewed further and further towards Christmas and away from Halloween. There isn't even a Thanksgiving section.
Walt Disney World
Everywhere you go in the place that makes dreams come true I see nightmares. Main Street USA was decorated for Christmas by 11/3. Every day there's more and more decor or music being installed.
Kohl's
Garland with lights went up 10/26 in certain Kohl's department store.
My jerk neighbor, 3 doors down from me
He had a Christmas wreath on his front door before October was over. Seriously? We believed this man was a jerk before this incident due to his decision to yell at me while I was walking my dog, but then seeing this wreath up confirmed his naughtiness and his jerkiness.
My boss
I love my boss - I genuinely do. However, after I was out of the office for a day, I came in to THIS. WELCOME TO THE NAUGHTY LIST, MICHAEL KELLEY.
(Did you not get that issue of People where I was named Sexiest Man Alive?)
To his credit, he removed the decor before lunch - however that's like returning the money you stole from the bank. You still stole it.Crossroads - Orlando
The Crossroads shopping/dining center on Florida Highway 535 installed their "delightful" lights (timed lights that make it seem like two children are throwing snowballs at each others' faces) in early November. These are activated and illuminated.
Hagan O'Reilly's shopping center
Christmas decor went up on the light poles of the parking lot prior to 11/8.
Sirius XM Radio
The 40's on 4 Channel switched over to an All Christmas format the second week of November.
Starbucks
Christmas Cups - as early as 11/1.
