It's Never Too Late (Or, Apparently, Too Early): Christmas Anxieties

A.K.A. It Gets Earlier Every Year, Part Deux Walking down the sidewalk on our way to dinner the other night, we were surprised to see a Christmas-themed window at the Walgreens on the corner of New Montgomery and Mission streets. Not so surprised that it was Christmas-themed, per se - we got over that some time ago; see our last Xmas-themed post - but that the banner read "LAST MINUTE GIFTS."
"Last MINUTE?," we said, "It's November 24th, for God's sake!"
We know that this wacky economy is making retailers nuts, but give us a break. It wasn't even last-minute-Thanksgiving-gift-time yet. That would be Thursday.
Just for the hell of it, we stopped in and asked a clerk when the window had been installed.
"Last week?," she said. "Or maybe the week before?" --Meredith Brody
