IT'S TOO SOON! 2026 EDITION

 The following is an editorial.

Every year as the Christmas🎄 season approaches, The Free Choice E-zine readers send in notifications about Holiday decorations going up in stores across the country BEFORE Halloween!🎃

October 21 must have been a special day in the retail industry, for emails started coming into our office reporting sightings of Christmas merchandise on many store shelves throughout America.

However a couple of points about this must be noted.

01. All the emails only mentioned merchandise, with no word of actual Christmas displays or decorations being set up yet.

02. October 21 is the latest (to date) such reports have come in from our readership. In years past emails arrived usually BEFORE Columbus/Indigenous People Day, if not toward the end of September.

These 2/TWO points lead one to wonder how much of a negative impact the Trump/Republican regime will have upon the upcoming Christmas retail season, considering its effects on the economy so far.

But while there were many reports of Christmas merchandise being set up across America, only one email actually sent photographic proof too!

JL of Washington State says the above photo was taken at a local grocery store.

Research on my part shows that the image in the wrap around banner might have been used by the manufacturer of the desert snack before, although the slogan could be new, despite being a takeoff of an existing Christmas tune's lyrics.

In any event, with the world's higher prices and lower wages still active, it will be interesting to see how the 2026 Christmas retail season plays out.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2026

PIPER D. KATT IN DISGUISE???

 HELLO EVERYBODY!

Today you have both Piper D. Katt AND Koda Canine here as we celebrate Halloween👺 on the Sunday Funnies, which technically isn't until this coming Saturday October 31.

That's right Piper, but if I have the calendar figured out right, NEXT YEAR we'll actually get to do this ON a Sunday! 😁

KODA CANINE IN DISGUISE???

OH BOY!

But in the meantime, we have some great Halloween themed jokes for everybody so let's get right to it.

Ready?

"I finally met someone who loves me for my brains."

"Are you dating a zombie?" 

Why are ghosts👻👻 so bad at telling lies?

Because you can see right though them.

For Halloween🎃, I am going to take my mask off and scare everybody.

You mean you haven't already?

Son: "Can we go to the haunted house this year?"

Father: "What's wrong with the one we are living in?"

If you put holy water in a humidifier, could you make any room a gas chamber for vampires?

Witch [sobbing] "I can't have children!!"

Friend Witch: "There there. There are ways to work around food allergies."

Why do ghosts👻👻 like elevators?

They lift their spirits.

As an undertaker, I always tie together the shoelaces of the dead. If the zombie apocalypse happens, it will be hilarious.

If you are ever having a bad day, just remember that Bruce Willis's character in the SIXTH SENSE found out he was dead and still going to work!

"Who is your favorite vampire?"

"The one on Sesame Street."

"He doesn't count."

"Oh, he most certainly does." 

So on that note♫, take care.

STAY SAFE! Especially if you go Trick or Treating Halloween night and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—PDK and KC.
