Retailers and TV: It's Winter.
My Brain: No, it's not. It just barely stopped feeling like summer. It's autumn.
Retailers and TV: No autumn. Winter. Look! See all the snowflakes we've pasted up? Have a Christmas special. WINTER!!
My Brain: But... but... Winter doesn't start until something like December 21st. Technically most of the "Christmas Season" is autumn!
Retailers and TV: No autumn for you! Winter! Go shopping! Watch specials!
My Brain: But... but...
Retailers and TV: NOT AUTUMN! WINTER! CELEBRATE!

postrophe: Biscuits.Me:...
Me:...I'll be dressed in five minutes.

I don't know about you guys, but I never understand people who give Christmas-related gifts as Christmas presents. "Oh. Yay. Something I can't use for another 11 months. I'll put it away somewhere and hope I can actually find it and remember it in 11 months."
