early xmas record?

The date, October 29th... TWO days prior to Halloween. So when I was in Maryland last week, I had to run to a Lowes to pick up some hardware that I needed for the project. I went into the main door and what did I see to my right? Xmas trees, house lighting, and other yard ornaments. Man, pagan holidays are only getting worse and seeing all that xmas gear pre All Hallowed Eve almost made puke.
