Christmas in September?

I love Christmas...it's actually my favorite holiday. But there are two things about Christmas that are driving me crazy.
1) Yesterday while exchanging something at Toys r Us we had a run in with a wanta be Santa. He did look like Santa...white beard and mustache, bright red cheeks (he was a little bit on the skinny side). But what is so creepy is that he kept referring to himself as Santa. He asked Bryce if he was being a good boy and if he was picking out toys he wanted. He smiled at Callie and asked her is she wanted a baby doll for Christmas. And he just wouldn't stop. He asked Bryce is he wanted to visit the north pole, he joked that he left the reindeer at home today and was driving Mrs. Claus's car, and he even asked the sales rep if she wanted his north pole phone number (and he did give it too her ..... 111-111-1111). Creepy right? I get it....you look like Santa Claus. Go back to the North Pole until December.
2) What the hell is up with Christmas decorations in stores? Did someone decide to skip Halloween and Thanksgiving this year and jump straight to Christmas? I love fall. I love Halloween and Thanksgiving. What happened to pumpkins and Turkeys? Walmart had just as much stuff out for Christmas as they did for Halloween!!! Did someone not pay attention in elementary school to the order of the holidays? Christmas decorations belong in boxes and closets until after Thanksgiving.
