Sneak Attack in the War on Christmas

Those tricky Culture Warriors - they've gone and launched the latest assault in the War on Christmas early this year, denying the Evil Secularist Conspiracy the chance to properly prepare for battle. They didn't wait until Thanksgiving this year, or even until Halloween. They're in the stores and fighting now:

Campaigns run in winter have a bad track record. I guess they learned from Napoleon and Hitler...

I was in a Kohl's the other day, and couldn't believe it when I saw a section already set up with all sorts of Christmas decorations.
