ALREADY?!

Let this be officially recorded as the day I saw Santa Claus hats for sale at the supermarket.

It's completely ridiculous. Seriously, how many people are in the market for one at this point in time? Is it really the kind of thing that people prepare to buy? I would have thought it was the kind of thing that bought at the last minute, right about when someone says "oh, by the way, wearing a Santa hat is compulsory for the party on Saturday night". Or alternatively, right about when the calendar reaches December 24th.

I just can't believe it would be a priority for anyone, is all.
