Here's what I think about the "early" thing. When we get a couple of sunny warm days in the middle of February, it makes us excited about what's to come. It doesn't mean that it's spring...it only means that spring is just around the corner. Same with Christmas songs on the radio, or early decorations. If it's annoying, simply look away. It's only a preview of a happy time to come. There's a lot to fret about these days...a foretaste of good times isn't one of them!
