I walked into my local Hobby Lobby today and was smacked in the face by:

Fall. Yes folks. It is mid-June and thanksgiving has taken over the aisles of my favorite craft location.
BUT. Then I turned the corner.

And there was Christmas. Now. In June. More then 6 months prior to the holiday - and it's here.
This is, in my opinion, why the years seem to fly by. We live with Christmas for 6 months of the year.
