It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

I agree but I do like getting those exceptional tins that many cookies are sold in, I give the cookies to friends but I keep the tins and then I fill them with the nonsense I collect, well ok, maybe documents and bills aren't nonsense but I wonder how many years I should keep them

It is a huge marketing thing, keeps people buying more and more even before the actual holidays. I do not like it getting in the way of the beautiful Halloween decor, but I think it also helps people feel a little more joyful. For some people, the holidays is the only time that makes them feel happy and even if it is months early, they have something to think about.

Yes I think it is much too early and much too commercialized. The big stores are pushy while with some small business owners it almost looks pitiful.

Its way to early for Christmas.. the shops here only start by November.

I have not noticed, they are still pushing halloween right now.

Hello there Christmas. What would we do without it? It does seem to be in store and online earlier every year. The earlier it's in store the more time people have to pay for it. Longer to over endulge already over endulged children. Kids telling parents what they want for Christmas is bad enough at any time- but in September!!! Wow. But it being in store earlier will boost the economy and that can't be bad. Helps keep people in jobs. If it wasn't for Christmas and people putting themselves in debt to keep up with the next door neighbours and make sure that their kids have the latest games consoles and mobile telephones several western countries would lose their triple A credit rating. Did America get the triple A rating back? It's quite sad to see if you ask me. People blowing money they can't afford on something that has got way out of hand. And Xmas in the shops at this time of year really does confirm it's not about Jesus anymore. I am not a bah humbug person at all but I actually know people who are still paying for Christmas 2014. That's sad isn't it? Put it down to peer pressure. Mid November would be early enough if you ask me. I think it's quite possible that there will come a time when Christmas will be in the shops all year round. You might scoff at that suggestion if you don't choke on the eastet eggs in store in January Happy Christmas folks.

I don't go out so am not seeing this. I remember we used to love to got to the mall and look at the decorations. The Made in Idaho store was all done up too. So fun. Now I am such a Grinch I don't enjoy it like I used to.

I know me and my boyfriend was grocery shopping the other day at Walmart and in part of the store they had their Halloween stuff out and back in the flower part they had Christmas stuff out already I mean come on people it is not even October yet.

I am grateful that there are no Christmas decorations on the shelves yet. I think that we will start to see them at the end of October, just after Halloween. I think that even end of October is too early.

I agree with you. They always seem to put out decorations a couple of months before the actual holiday.

I think it's too early, but as fast as life goes by, Christmas will be here tomorrow!

One of the things I don't like about stores putting out Christmas stuff so early is that they start taking it down before Christmas is even here! Then it feels like the holiday is already over. Bummer.

In our country, whenever the 'ber' month starts, we start decorating. Today's no longer too early in our place.

I Love...Love... Christmas ever since I been a child, it remind me of magical fairy tail. I haven't seen anything located in the stores near me yet.... but I wouldn't want them to display items so early. Spools The whole Christmas holiday.

Ugh - yes - it's way too early. It's completely weird seeing the Christmas stuff out now along side with the Halloween stuff. It's not even the month of Halloween yet! We get burnt out on the holidays well before it happens - I don't like it.

They are introducing some new products and want to market their new products. this is the same in India also. Many varieties of Cards, paper decorations, cuttings, Greetings, and varieties of sweet and also gift boxes.

That makes me glad that I stay out of stores and do my shopping online.

I also noticed that. While me and the boyfriend are looking for a good deal for a very nice gift for a friend's wedding, we noticed the store that there are already Christmas decorations displayed in one particular place. And It felt like Christmas any time soon.

Before long Christmas stuff will be up all year long. I prefer Halloween and those decorations better. We don't put anything up for Halloween and we never put Christmas stuff up till the day after Thanksgiving and we take it down the day after New Years Eve.
