What a nice idea and you were able to get this nice capture ofthe new arrivals. tigs=^..^=

Ted, I thought (so I'm not sure about that) that in the USA shopping for the holiday seasons starts at Black Friday. Apparently, being tired of the Corona crisis, people don't like to wait no longer by taking Christmas attributes into their home already.
Your beautiful photo shows this very well.

They move Holiday shopping earlier and earlier. It's like a never-ending holiday season around the year. Kids don't know what it is like to not see holiday toys and gifts until a few weeks before the event. You could tell the shipping issue did not bring a lot of decorations as they have in prior years. They did have their 25,000 or more poinsettias.

I always dig the field of poinsettias found in greenhouses, a part of which we see here in your all-inclusive holiday photo, Ted. Here in North Dakota, however, florists are still a considerable distance from Covid recovery. The few fields of red and green I find are in some stores. As for your comment above, Ted, in my home library there is a holiday version of a sci-fi short story, buried in an anthology volume. The premise is that sometime in the not-too-distant future, the main character is a man who is the temp holiday staff supervisor for the gift-wrapping and customer service division, in the massive department store in which he works. Nothing too unusual, right? The difference is that, in this version of the future, the Christmas shopping season starts in March and finishes up in January! Capitalism to the extreme. Add to this mix a new temp staffer in his department, a young woman who has spent the last 8 years with her missionary family on a far-off Pacific island, far from the commercialization of modern society. What follows is consternation, surprise, enlightenment, and epiphany.

But I digress.
