Just curious. In my area last year, they started bringing out the christmas stuff the day after halloween.

However, this year, they started bringing the Christmas stuff out 2 weeks before Halloween.

Way too early if you ask me. They are really pushing Christmas items by me.

What about where you're at?


Also, this is the first year I've seen it where people in my neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods are putting their outdoor Christmas lights and decorations up before Thanksgiving. For my area, this is not normal to do before Thanksgiving. Because, Normally people start putting the lights and decorations up the day after Black Friday never beforehand.

Why also do you think stores and people are pushing Christmas stuff so early and each year seems to be getting earlier? It's like not much of a surprise anymore or excitement to look forward to as it's already out.

Walmart and Target brought it out the day after Halloween.
The craft store brought it out in early September, in one corner, and the section for it only kept growing bigger after that so now it takes up about 1/4 of the Hobby Lobby store which is occupying an old Winn Dixie space so the Christmas portion of it is about the size of a Walgreens.

at first I read, "What stores are coming out" and I was like "huh?" then I caught the part about Christmas. There's a part of me that enjoys watching the Christmas post turkey scramble. I'm reminded of so many lovely memories and at the same time I am entertained by it all. I can only wish that there was something so exciting as a red rider bbgun or something worth camping overnight to get. It sounds fun. I remember a friend of mine waiting all night to get yet the next Harry Potter. It almost made me a reader again.
