Walking into Target during the holidays, one would expect to see holiday decorations galore but instead there are racks and racks of bathing suits

This time of year is full of fabulous food and drinks, staying up late and being away from home. The last thing on our minds is going to the gym to shed our winter skin, never mind jumping into a dressing room to put on a bikini! Not to mention the fact that most of us are white as a ghost, and that the idea of seeing ourselves half naked and surrounded by mirrors is quite honestly rather frightening.

Why can’t Target start a bit slower, put the winter clothes on sale, change the displays to spring clothes and ease us into the transition. Give us some warning before you throw the bikinis in our faces again, I want to enjoy my apple pie and sugar cookies!
