* * * * * ♫Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?♫ Bunny and I went to the Cracker Barrel [1] for dinner, and in … wait a second! I'm getting a strong feeling of _déjà vu_ at the moment [2] … Only this time it's mid-September and not late-July, and it wasn't just a few items, but half the store was given over to Christmas. The other half was themed with Thanksgiving in mind. And on one lone table was the Hallowe'en display. Sigh.
