As we were out running a few errands on this blustery first day of fall, it was hardly surprising that we were drawn to the Halloween displays. As expected as our gravitation to those holiday iitems might be? There were a couple of surprises as we browsed the now somewhat seasonal merch.
First, the choices were limited; many of the shelves were well-picked over. Obviously the stuff had been for sale for a while, and business was brisk.
The other unexpected turn of events occured when we rounded the corner to turn down the last aisle. There, twinkling from the shelves in the back of the store, was the first of the Christmas lights and decorations.
And yet... How surprised were we, really?
