RH2: RETAIL NEVER SLEEPS > POETRY
Christmas music starts in July now. Sparklers are sold next to the most flammable kind of tree.
Christmas music starts in April now. Santa pops out of one of the Easter Bunny’s eggs, dethroning him as they fistfight to Silent Night.
Christmas music starts last December now. Two songs are played over one another, grandma is hit repeatedly by reindeer as the chipmunks make their white noise. The cutout horde of wise men, still divisible by three, descend upon the manger.
