Have you noticed that stores are reminding you to have a merry Christmas a little sooner every year? It seems just as I'm preparing to get the Halloween candy out for trick-or-treaters, I am quite commercially reminded that "the holiday season" is upon us. Christmas lights start appearing, shopping windows are redecorated for the holidays…and websites start dawning their own Christmas décor and reminding us to deck their halls with our credit cards.
