9. It does
I can remember when people said, "Christmas stuff in the stores, and it's not even Thanksgiving yet!"

Now it starts before Halloween. :eyes:

7. That's a bit different
You want to take time and browse them so you can order stuff to be ready for Spring. Why would anybody buy candy they can't give for nearly two whole months?
