The tiny shop is jam-packed with all sorts of goodies, from traditional ornaments to unusual figurines, and even a Santa dangling precariously from what looks like a festive hot-air balloon.

It's never too early to start sending out holiday cards, right? Wrong. It is definitely too early to start sending out holiday cards.

They see Christmas, they feel Christmas, they want Christmas, they need Christmas. Or at least something red and white and sparkly and a happy distraction from everything that's not red and white and sparkly.
