We're hours past Halloween, and the Lindt chocolate Christmas commercials have started.

Saw one on CBS's morning news show.

Editing to add that the same show had Vladimir Duthiers saying it was "too soon" for Mariah Carey's Halloween-to-Christmas transformation.

I have a 1-yr-old grandbaby to buy for, so I was just looking for ideas, but still it seems ridiculous not to include prices.
