Have you ever thought why medicines are sold at the very very back of big stores yet you can buy the cigarettes right by the front door?

Yeah, it's true, the music, the decorations, and things strategically placed all as a come on to buy more..all create a "holiday spirit" long before it should be. Especially with Christmas..

A good example of this was one "summer"..this department store had huge sale on latch hook rugs..the good one's were all picked over, but they had some really nice Christmas ones left..I bought 3..and by the time I was done, I was in the Christmas spirit - in the summer!!

We bought Christmas presents in July when on holiday in North Africa and went home singing Jungle Bells.

We got some REAL funny looks
