Roses are Red, Violets are Blue

A customer bought a few cards the other day. "I'll put these in this other bag," she said, pointing to a bag from a certain neighborhood store that shall go un-named. "I just got all my valentines!" she added. It was January 6th. I had noticed the Valentine display in their window - it appeared on January 1st. I think they even beat our local CVS, no slouch in the rushing the holidays department. I'm not planning to display mine until - I don't know - maybe a month before the actual holiday? Catch 22 - I hate to have valentines sitting around for six or seven weeks . . . and I also don't like losing sales to the ever earlier birds. Ours will appear soon!
