It Must be Christmas Time during October in Katy TX Last Sunday October 2, 2016 I was in Costco Katy TX to find there were numerous Christmas decorations and gifts already displayed for sale. I had to shake my head as we have not even got past Halloween yet and but we are already getting polluted with Christmas stuff.

These folks are not hungry individuals who need to stuff themselves with the free food. The majority buy very few items based on the seeing their empty sh... 10/09/2016
