Moving so fast we miss the meaning....

So next door to my work is a Bakers supermarket. We all notice how we hardly get through one holiday and they already have decor for the next one out. This is in every store now days. Now we don't even have Thanksgiving, black Friday and then Christmas. It's all about shopping and getting the next holiday onto the shelves and as people it's about catching the deals. I realize with this economy we have to pinch pennies but do we really have to skip the holidays or the meanings? The week after Christmas at Bakers I noticed Easter candy by the checkout. I made a comment to my friend and went on about my business.... Today we go into Bakers and there is Easter stuff everywhere. Don't get me wrong, Easter is a very important holiday as I am a Christian. But is it just me or is Valentines day next? Are we really in that much of a rush that we always have to be looking and thinking 2 months ahead at all times? Live today as if it's going to be your last... Isn't that what they say? I will not do my Christmas shopping on Thanksgiving and I will not purchase Easter stuff before Valentines day!
