I'm with you, I feel as though Christmas items shouldn't start until November does, at the earliest. I love Christmastime, but the earlier it's put out in the stores, the more I feel it detracts from the fall holidays. I don't see why people need Christmas decorations so early, honestly.
I'm glad you received your seeds Saturday! I'm pretty sure your seeds were originally scheduled for a Monday delivery, so I'm really glad they arrived early!
