UGH! Tell me about it! I love Christmas as much as the next person, but I usually don't get into a Christmasy mood until November rolls around. And to top it off, Dollar Tree already has Christmas decorations out! Geesh!Arrrgh!
I can't stand it when they start putting out Thanksgiving and Christmas stuff before Halloween is even close to being over. Nothing kills my seasonal buzz like being greated at the front door of Walmart by an inflatable Santa in the third week of October...
Put the Turkey day and Christmas items somewhere else in the store until after Oct, 31. Just don't have it right at the front where it's one of the first things you see.
Halloween I can understand, we've all been waiting months to see skeletons and ghouls and pumpkins about! But August is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too soon for Holly Jollys.
In the Lakeside collection we got not one, but two Christmas 2009 catalogs. Talk about getting an early start on Christmas shopping! Even the Harvest 2009 stuff had Christmas stuff in it. I suppose I can understand a catalog though, since it takes time for stuff to come in the mail. But gee whiz, they could've left the Christmas stuff out of the harvest issue. (Unless it's one of those multi-holiday flags that feature a pole and different flags for different seasons. Usually they have Halloween, Christmas, Valinetines, St Patty's, Easter and Fourth of July. There's this goose you can get somewhere, I can't remember where, that you can dress up for every occasion. I believe I once saw a kitty you can dress up in different costumes for different occasions too.)
