So The Bay downtown decided to launch their Christmas inventory a little early this year. Some say that selling Christmas is fair game during the "brrrrr" months - September, October, November, December - but as it clearly doesn't feel like Christmas yet (IT DOESN'T EVEN FEEL LIKE HALLOWEEN YET), we're proposing a new bylaw in the City of Vancouver.
But first, a little bit of background. Last year I was brought into office as the official Egg Nog Ambassador for Avalon Dairy. It was a position I successfully campaigned for amongst a group of high profile nog lovers and it basically means nothing except that I really like egg nog, and I took advantage of our wide reach on social media to garner votes to win (COUGH - RIG - COUGH) the election. Prior to becoming an Ambassador, for years here on the blog I let you know exactly when egg nog became available. It is my duty to you, my fellow nog lovers, and I will continue to do it.
So what we're proposing is that the City of Vancouver pass a bylaw that no business shall sell Christmas related items, nor play Christmas music, until no less than 2 milk brands have got egg nog on the shelves of local grocery stores. If we've got to see and hear this stuff so early it should be our legal right as citizens to enjoy a sweet, eggy, milky glass of egg nog (or an egg nog latte) as we do so!
We're henceforth calling upon the NPA, Vision and the Green Party to work together to make this bylaw a reality.
