Dear retailers,

I understand that you expect people to shop in advance of the season, and that therefore you stock in advance of the season as well. Reasonable enough, I suppose.

However, has it never occurred to you that children regularly lose their mittens? And that, therefore, it is absolute lunacy to "not carry mittens anymore" by the 3rd of December?

No love,
Rivka

Yes...Walgreen's is my first stop for stuff like this. When I was spending 12 hour days at the hospital with my mother for a month, it was the only store open at 7 in the morning, and I discovered that I was able to find so many useful things...warm socks for her feet, a cheap afghan-ish blanket, etc. and there were many socks/mittens/etc. for kids.
