When I was looking at Christmas cards last year in October (down on the floor and going thru all boxes) 2 women seem to keep coming by me and making comments about people looking at Christmas stuff this early just makes the stores put it out, people are so stupid looking at Christmas stuff now etc...... BUT I got the cards I wanted and had PLENTY of time to write them out!!!!!!!!!!!!

I told the people stocking that they will see more of me, beacuse I'll be by every break and lunch to see what new items they put out. One of them said it is kinda of a relief, most people get very grumpy when the see us putting out the Christmas stuff this early.
It has nothing to do with some people shopping early. It is the company that sets the time frame for when things go out. They plan on a certain amount of time for setup and enough time for items to get the most exposer. Most festive of tree people and other who are planning big events have already started their Christmas planning and having the items out now helps them.
If it helps those cranky anti Christmas folks we won't get any Christmas jewelry until the end of the month.
I could go on but instead I'll just enjoy the Christmas section by myself, well with you ladies.

I had heard on the news this morning that Wal-Mart is planning on getting their Christmas shop up early this year to try to off set what is predicted to be a slow holiday season. I had noticed that they didn't put the Halloween stuff in the outdoor living center like they usually do, but have football tailgate party stuff out there. I guess that season is over before Halloween! :hat:
I usually just smile at people who fuss about Christmas decorations and items being put out early, because I know that the week before Christmas most of them will be frantically searching for what they need to finish shopping, cooking and/or decorating and wishing that they had picked it up in October!

The earlier the better as far as I am concerned. I love that the early shopper gets the pick of the good stuff. I often see people running around at the last minute looking for something and there is not much left to choose from. I will be getting into my stores christmas selection as soon as it is available here.
I went to walmart yesterday and nothing Christmas out yet. It was still tailgating in that section. The halloween was in a different spot than usual so maybe it won't be long.
:frown: No Christmas section (yet) in our Walmart. I made a special trip to check yesterday too...
That is odd, They should be putting out there Chirstmas items. Unless they have a ton of overstock of the fall and football items they need to get rid of.
I was checking in ski goggles yesterday, they will go in the back until after Halloween.

Today I went to the Walmart Super Store in Claremont, NH (about 30 miles from here) and they had their Christmas things set up in the garden area. Not everything was out yet and they were still unpacking boxes. Afterwards I went to the Walmart closer to my home and they were beginning to clear out shelves just past the house cleaning supplies. It won't be long and they will be ready too.
I wish mine already had it all out! They are not finished stocking the fall shelves yet. I got some adorable fingertip towels embroidered with leaves in fall colors, and now I'm looking forward to the Christmas ones. They were only $1 each!
Our walmart was stocking it up in the garden section yesterday too. I love that feeling when I walk in and see it unexpectantly!
