Huh? A Christmas Catalogue? In MAY? Are You Kidding Me?

I think that is actually funny. I have never gotten a catalog for Christmas in May before, but I think that is one for the books. So I guess now you will be getting a catalog for summer things around Christmas. LOL.

Seems a bit early, even for those who do their Christmas shopping months in advance. I think it sort of takes away from the holiday to commercialize it so early. . .why can't they just send the catalog without all the Christmas decorations in it? Oh well, I'm sure the Halloween decorations will be up in all of the stores by June, and then the Christmas ones will be right around the corner.

Are you sure that it is not for Christmas in July? Lots of people seem to celebrate that these days for some strange reason. One Christmas per year is enough and now is not the time of year to be promoting anything to do with it. It is bad enough that we get bombarded with Christmas stuff for the three months leading up to December 25th! BAAAAH HUMBUG!

Well people have really said that Christmas is really getting earlier and earlier every year. And here I am sitting here thinking that no matter how much I enjoy the season, the fact it, is is kind of absurd that I am seeing Christmas decorations right in the store in late August, early September, but that really just trumps that one hundred percent of the time. But this absurdity really does rather trump that absurdity. I have not received any catalogs right in the mail yet. Not stay that I really won't right in the near future when you really think about it. I really just really think that when the summer hasn't arrived completely, getting anything for Christmas. No matter how much you enjoy the season, much too soon.

No Christmas catalogs but the other day I ended up doing a survey for Christmas tins. I thought that was strange, and couldn't help but think it was well out of season. The catalogs I have been getting lately though are all for summer sales and things.

Not too uncommon, these companies are trying to make you but your gifts early and not rush so you don't buy when there are big sales everywhere else.

well, although not receiving any catalogues for Christmas, i would be excited as i have already started my Christmas shopping! i pretty much start on Boxing day for the next year. i do this so i don't spend as much money at once. its easier to swallow if done all throughout the year for me, financially.

the catalogue drops through the door with a hearty thump! it gets chucked on the stairs then finds it way into the living room, where i try very hard not to open it, but temptation looms, this time i avoided the christmas cards and wrapping paper. After all I did a little stock take, I have a stock of over 250 christmas cards and 16 rolls of wrapping paper. and not to mention additions to my christmas deccies year after year. No this time, from the catalogue i went to the back pages and indulged in my other passion.. gardening! solar fairies! how naff and only in Studio! they are sitting out in my night garden now, happily glowing away. But you are right, about the crap stuff. I also bought a set of 4 boxes with lids. the first one I slotted together split! its like betterware and the avon catalogue, you see stuff you think you really need, but never ever use!

that's the earliest mention of christmas I've heard so far this year. congratulations (or not!) studio! It's ridiculous.

Some catalogue sellers are having year round Christmas sales, every day in a year is a Christmas eve ready for SALES. That's the result of commercialization of a religion's holy day by profit driven corporate greeds, it does make a lot of sense to them except the consumer.

The business they did really reached a very high level.You bought something from there several years ago,they still periodically send you their catalogues.I think the items listed in the catalogues are what they want to sell the most.
