We got our first Christmas card in the mail Saturday. It was from mystic_blue , and she had to send it all the way from Australia, so being early is OK. (Less excusable is that I lost the card somehow. I set it down somewhere in the house, and now I can't find it anywhere...)

But today I went to the mall, and Santa was already there! WTF? The kids haven't even got to see the good toy commercials yet, how can they know what they want already?
