My GF, who likes to make a lot of handmade gifts, says she understands craft stores like Hobby Lobby (which this is) putting put stuff out early, since other crafters are probably starting their projects around this time and might need a few months to get them ready.
But this shit better not cross over into regular retail stores.
To be fair, most of what I’ve seen of Chinese cuisine looks like dog yack, so I think we got the better end of the deal.
