Season Creep

Season Creep is the phenomenon when you see items associated with a particular holiday or season appear earlier and earlier in the year. For example, the pumpkin spice everything (beer, lattes, etc.) started showing up here at the end of August. The most blatant example of Season Creep is Christmas Creep. Last week I saw my first container of eggnog in the grocery store. Today I saw Christmas decorations and fake trees at another grocery store. I guess it’s time to get started baking the infamous eggnog bread. Julian would no doubt agree.
