What season or holiday are we in anyway??

they rush the seasons to much. right after Christmas I already seen valentines day things in the stores. today we were at target and we seen lots of bathing suits. I think it`s way to early.

Right after Christmas we had 4' of snow on the ground and we went to buy snowboots and we went to 7 stores NONE had any! They had all the Valentines Day stuff and swimsuits out. The few things they had for winter were 75% off. It's so rediculous.

Here in Australia, the opposite is happening. We are absolutely sweltering. The perspiration is running down our necks from our wet hair. We are too hot and wet to do anything but sit under the fans, or in the air conditioning if you have it. Of course, the shops are air conditioned, but it still feels really depressing to walk into the stores and see the winter clothing starting to appear. The skin starts to itch with the thought of it. I'm probably worse than a lot of people. Where I live I don't need any more than a light linen blazer even in the middle of winter. I love the cold, but most people do wear woollies in the winter. I really can't understand the stores, though. I mean, do they really expect to sell winter clothing in a heat wave?

I know, this drives me nutty also. The Valentines day stuff came out right after Christmas. The only advantage is that stores have their winter stuff on sale now. The day after Valentines day, the Easter stuff with come out.

It is winter here,we had 6 inches of snow the other day I went shopping yesterday and yes we also have swim suits and spring clothes out. I went to fine myself some warm gloves and the store was out of gloves.All the spring things are coming out allready.

Drives me pretty crazy too! We have snow all over the ground, and all the stores have spring clothes. It's especially frustrating when it comes to kid's clothes, because they grow so quickly. I can't buy my son's spring clothes now because I have no idea what size he'll wear by then (he's almost 8 months and he just switched from 12 month clothes to 18 month clothes). So how exactly am I supposed to shop for him?

So true. My granddaughter left her jacket at school. We are on a five week track break so she can't get her jacket and we are experiencing record cold -- 25 degrees outside when I got up this morning. I know that is not cold to some of you, but we are used to temps in the triple digits. I took her to the store to buy her a new one and they looked at me like I was crazy. They had no girls jackets and only one boys jacket left. They did however, have racks and racks of shorts and swimsuits. It is very frustrating for me to have to try anticipate what seasonal items I will need six months in advance or go without.
