It’s Christmas time in the city . . . already

People (mostly grumpy ones older than me) have always claimed Christmas keeps coming earlier every year, in the sense that retailers start trying to sell you Christmas whatnot earlier and earlier. I never really believed it, but now I have the smoking gun: Starbucks (at least the branch I frequent on the upper Upper West Side) is in full holiday mode, complete with a lame white plastic wreath on the door which bangs against the glass every time someone enters or exits. I thought the deal was you were supposed to wait until after Thanksgiving to start pushing Christmas, like the old rule about not wearing white after Labor Day. I guess it’s only a matter of time before kids go trick-or-treating dressed as Santa Claus ...
