Has anyone been to the drugstore recently? I just went yesterday and there was already some Christmas stuff up. I was floored! I’m Christmas’s Biggest Jewish Fan (It’s an official title!) but come on, CVS! Let me at least enjoy Halloween before you start up with Christmas. One holiday at a time, please!
