is it Christmas already??

I was in target at lunch today and to what did my wondering eyes appear, but the paula deen Christmas cooking magazine.  it's august people, it's still over 100 degrees outside and you want me to think about Christmas.  I bought it, of course, because I LOVE paula deen and read through it while I ate lunch.  it got me thinking about what I want to cook for my 25 cookies and candies for Christmas this year.  so, maybe I was wrong it's not too early to start thinking about Christmas, what do you think?
