What 's Today?

I asked myself this question yesterday when I walked into Costco. The front of the store is filled with winter coats, Christmas decorations, wrapping paper and presents. I had to stop and look at my watch to double check the date - it was October 5.

I'm not going to debate the merits of having Christmas stuff in the store when it's still over 70 degrees in Chicago. But I do want to make sure you make the most of the last three months of the year.

Once the Christmas decorations show up in stores it's really easy to start putting things off until next year.
