| | It's August, and the stores are brimming with back-to-school sales, specials, and other inducements to attract customers. In about a month, though, the school supplies will be moved away from the seasonal sections of their respective stores, and you know what that will mean.
Candy season will have begun.
Those school supplies will be moved to make way for the Halloween costumes, Halloween decorations, and most importantly . . . the Halloween candy. That will herald the beginning of a season that will last around seven months. At the very least. I'll have to check my calendar to find out the specifics; at the moment, I'm not sure when Easter falls in 2008.
The seasonal aisles of your favorite department, drug, and grocery stores will be filled with various confectionary delights from Labor Day through Easter. Maybe a week or so after that; if Easter comes early, the stores may not be in as big a rush to get the summer merchandise out right after that.
As one holiday gives way to the next, from Halloween to Christmas to Valentine's Day to Easter, the stores will give us numerous (and opportunities) to indulge our sweet tooth. It will be interesting to see what specialties the candy companies have planned for us this year.
Labor Day is September 3. The shelves should reveal all by then.
