Oh, just an unclear on the subject update.

Our store got all it's Hanukhah merchandise on last night's truck.

Yup. We're all ready for a holiday that was finished over a week ago. Of course, the Christmas stuff was up in September.

Oy. That's worse than here.

Here, they put up Chanukah decorations on the last day of Chanukah.

I think they just can't deal with the fact that we use our own calendar, so even though it's on the 25th day of Kislev every year, it's not always on the same day of December, or even IN December.

I am working all the shit hours here next week.

That is because next year, it's going to be 12/26-1/2. So between that and the Japanese New Year celebration I like to do, they ain't gonna see me after X'mas Eve until 2006.

Blame that weird solar/lunar hybrid calendar of theirs.

Your distributor's, that is.

Given that I was able to track down Gregorian/Jewish calendar programs (multiple!) within a few *minutes* of starting to look years ago, and that you can get printed calendars that list that sort of thing in any city worthy of the name, it goes way beyond "unlear on the concept".

BTW, it doesn't really make sense for last year either, since Hannukah started the 20th then. Which is a bit late for putting up merchandise.

Then again, be glad they aren't trying to keep track of the Islamic calendar based stuff. Ramadan Will be in October by 2006...

But the Christians are oppressed! Don't you *know*?

So, is it all on sale?
