Christmas in July

It's hotter than Hades here. Summer officially started less than two weeks ago. So, in walking into local department stores looking for clothing to match the triple digit heat, what do you think they have? WINTER CLOTHING!

I, for one, am SICK or retailers rushing and blurring the seasons. They have Christmas crap out during the summer, and summer crap out during the Christmas season. They rotate their shit at such an ad-hoc schedule, nobody knows what day of the year it is.

Retailers: Pay attention! Here's a CLUE. We want SUMMER stuff during the SUMMER months, and WINTER stuff during the WINTER months. I have no use for a Christmas tree and ornaments in July. I have no use for ski boots in August. I don't care if you call it the "pre-season in store special." It's still winter crap when it's 103* and all we want is stuff that is actually useful to us NOW -- not 6 months from now. Retailers: your job is to give us a variety of goods we can purchase and use immediately. What do you think he internet is for? DUH
