In general I feel like there is a lot LESS Christmas stuff in stores this year. My daughter noticed it also. I realize they still might put out stuff for Black Friday and the final weeks BUT usually there is much more out.
I noticed Target had very limited aisles of Christmas decor and ornaments....not nearly the section they had last year. Walmart is also much less than in past years. Not that I needed to buy much in that area but still it was noticeable.
The same with gift sets and other items. I think they are wary of stocking too much because I predict that buying will be DOWN this year, with the economy and people out of work in many places.
What have you noticed? Do you think it is less in your area?
