Halloween Already?

Who put time on an accelerated pace? Is it just me or do the holidays seem to come earlier and earlier every year? I can't believe it's already Halloween (or that I don't really have a fully-formed costume yet, but that's neither here nor there). It seems like the year just started, or that we were celebrating last year's holidays last week (or maybe that's just because I'm a year behind on my scrapbooking, so therefore it's like those things didn't really happen - no photographic evidence, no events, right?). Tomorrow when I go to the stores they'll probably have Valentine's Day stuff out already. OK, maybe not, but I wouldn't really be surprised.
