they are really pushing christmas this year

[demaina]

Oh, I know.  I can't believe how early they start putting up Holiday things.  Now, granted, it's nice cause people like me who are just starting out can sorta pick up things now and sometimes save on the cost, but other than that, I don't see any purpose for having these holidays pushed months before they should be.

I haven't really noticed Christmas stuff yet, but I've seen a lot of people on Facebook complaining about it. It isn't even Halloween season yet! I don't like the way they start everything so early, just to get more money. But I really can't talk, because in my Etsy shop, I list my Christmas ornaments all year!

I am sick of Christmas starting in September.

Our local "Hobby Lobby" started putting out a big section of decorations at the end of the summer.  Before long, I predict they'll leave them up all year long!

I know.  There are a lot of stores the same have their Christmas decoration already.  I feel Christmas went by quick this year.  And another will come with the blink of an eyes.

         Where do you come from? "Christmas is a big business!"

L0L i saw the same thing! Walking through walmart and next to the garden center like two aisles of Christmas things. We're not even in Novemeber yet !!!

They seem to be pushing christmas earlier each year. It is all about the money. Believe me. Although they are still advertising some Halloween things, this rush for the holidays is getting ridiculous.

I agree that Christmas is not the same anymore. Christmas used to be so exciting and fun. Now it seems to be about who can spend the most money and go into the most debt.

By Halloween Christmas should be full blown. It doesn't affect me one bit.  I'm not a big present buyer...and not a big present receiver.  I do like the birth of Jesus...but the other stuff I can do without.  Have a great holiday season everyone

I like to start shopping now, but they are not going to have sales not until  Black Friday.

Sometimes I think I just notice it more.
Doesn't matter how soon they put it out, I won't even go close to the stuff until after Halloween.
