It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I walked to work this morning but decided to take the bus home when the temperature rose to over 100 degrees. As we drove up Lake Avenue, the bus passed a Walgreen's where a holiday commercial was being filmed. Fake snow decorated the stone pillars outside, and the drugstore's windows were filled with flocking and big, gift-wrapped Christmas presents. A crew member was wrangling a large roll of "snow" on the sidewalk.

"Mmmmm, mmmmm," I heard the bus driver say softly to herself. "Christmas comes earlier every year."
