You've probably never hear of Community coffee in NYC. It is a Louisiana based company. It is the brand I drink, and a lot of restaurants down here serve. I don't buy the flavored coffees, just their dark roast.

Actually, I DO know Community coffee! I get it on Amazon!!!

I love this time of year, it reminds me how much I hate pumpkin coffee's

 

[dragnlaw]

I love pumpkin pie, pumpkin squares, I like carving pumpkins and I like having multiple pumpkins and spooky decorations around and about.

That's it - that's all. Leave coffee and anything and everything else out of the pumpkin patch!

There were pumpkin twinkies at the Stop and Shop on the Cape ...
They've been selling Halloween candy since early August

Costco has Christmas decorations out already.

You know what?... I have no problem if they want to sell Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas items any time of the year, be my guest. What I object to is the bombardment of music and store full of their own decorations "trying to put you in the mood".
I know what it's like to try to find things out of season so I understand and don't mind that. Yes, I also understand they can't have everything on the shelves all the time... But not the "shove it in my face and hope I'll buy" attitude.
I'll even accept the last week of November but certainly not now! Autumn is Sept 22nd this year. Since when did North America suddenly only have 3 sseasons?

sorry, rant over....

Global warming!

Seriously though, I'm also sick of all that holiday advertising, that starts way too early. The only time I don't mind it is if it gets me good deals on things, which happens occasionally.

The Rules According to AndyM.

Halloween can start advertising on October 1st and must end on the 31st
Thanksgiving-start 11/1 end on Thanksgiving Day
Christmas-12/1 ends 12/25
Valentines Day-NO ADS
Memorial Day-5/1-5/31 (In case someone ants to sell Memorial stuff)
Back to School-8/1 thru Labor Day
All political ads can appear for 30 days prior to the election only! I live in northeast MA and we have been getting obnoxious political ads for a month and a half FOR ANOTHER STATE'S ELECTIONS!

What happened to the BOGO and 2-Fer charcoal sales at Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Psychopoodle was impressed with how I got 400lbs of charcoal in my MINI.

Did you drag your car butt? I’ve done that one or twice…

Do you use those guys in your Egg?

Hey, down here, I walk around the stores in flip-flops and t-shirts while Christmas music is playing, and decorations are everywhere.

I agree 100%!!

I also hate cable channels that play Christmas movies one day a week all year. AND start showing Christmas movies 24 hours a day starting like a week before Halloween!
