The Second Moon of Adonis

I just received an email notifying me that "all ... offices will close from Monday, December 24, 2007, to Friday, December 28, 2007. In other countries that observe Christmas as a company holiday, ... offices will close for similar period at that time."

Do these people not realize it's barely friggin' April here? Am I supposed to start planning for the holidays now? Does anyone do that?

There should be a law against mentioning Christmas before September, at the earliest. I feel violated.
