[hometext] => Here in Oz, Easter eggs have been on the shelves since late Jan/early Feb. Please explain?
[bodytext] => Its Easter in February, and Christmas in July the festivities must have split from seasons they can’t buy. It’s Halloween in March according to the shelves; it must be quite confusing for all the zombies and the elves. Thanksgiving chokes on pilgrim hype New Year is drowned in booze; events are all commodified by gifts you have to choose. The ante has been lifted, there’s profits in the lull buy stuff now to beat the rush? —we’ll swallow any bull. And children pester parents Who can only sigh, ‘Where is all the magic When it’s Christmas in July?’ [comments] => 4 [counter] => 3366 [topic] => 18 [informant] => spike [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 25 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Holiday Poetry )
