The above headline is about as likely as Sears rolling out the Christmas merchandise in the middle of Summer. Well, Sears IS selling Christmas merchandise right now, and we (Mr. Makarma) are busy at work planning for the new year. For example......
We're busy tossing out (actually, recycling) the 2009 vendor brochures and replacing them with those for 2010. The same is the case with the various guides we purchase on an annual basis to further keep up-to-date; we've already ordered next year's editions, and they'll start arriving early next month.
Back in the old days, before the recent economic downturn, people DID start planning the following year's vacations (especially to Europe and Alaska, popular Summer destinations) right about now. Today, people tend to book closer in, once they know they can afford a trip and hopefully also find a last-minute bargain in the process.
Closer in or further out - either works for us. You gotta roll with it sometimes, and that's something we can most definitely do.
We talked about our new love for antipasto salads last time; did we also mention we recently rediscovered frozen yogurt?
