I hate how promoting holidays gets earlier every year. Sometimes I miss the old day when the wonder of the Christmas season happened in December! Diana
They start all of the holiday marketing sooner than they should. Here in the US, they had Halloween decorations on the shelves in the last week of July. A week or two ago, I noticed Christmas decorations appearing in the stores.
Isn't it interesting how Christmas in July spread to today? Well that used to be the target for those who wanted to hide Christmas presents that were purchased early. And many of those hidden presents were lost when the 6 months passed too!
Maybe they are being sneaky and it’s stock left over from last year. But you are right way too early.

ReplyDeleteChristmas items arrive really early.
ReplyDeleteSaw plenty of X'mas stuff two weeks ago in the stores...
ReplyDeleteThat is crazy, Bill. They could wait for Halloween to be over.
ReplyDeleteIt's just a revenue model.
ReplyDeleteLook at all of those Christmas treats! YUM!
ReplyDeleteHow about Halloween?? That's next! : )
ReplyDeleteThey really are pushing the seasons these days. A chocolate Santa is pretty tempting.
ReplyDeleteThis year seems to have gone by so quickly, it's the same in shops here too.
ReplyDeleteHe's Making A List , Brilliant There Mr Bill

Obwohl es die Weihnachtsartikel immer früher in den Geschäften gibt, wurden offenbar schon einige Weihnachtsmänner verkauft.
ReplyDeleteYes, too early for me too. That's a lot of santas. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL I believe it . . . we have Halloween and Christmas in the same aisle!

No, no, no, NO! This is wrong on so many levels.

ReplyDeleteEach merchandizer tries to get ahead of the other.
