    With the death weather we’re having right now, seeing Xmas stuff would just make me angrier.

      AND: They’re selling flannel shirts and winter gloves! It’s going to be 90 F here tomorrow. WTF?

    There used to be a shop (two shops, actually, operated by the same guy; he now retired) in my home town that was selling Christmas stuff all year. Not other stuff plus some Christmas stuff, but just Christmas stuff.

    Christmas in July is a thing in a lot of places. This could just be marketing that hasn’t been changed over yet.

    I buy stuff out of season because it saves money. I will be shopping for new summer clothing in two months.

    I don’t want to hear a goddamn thing about War on Christmas because that shit is winning, taking over and annexing pretty much everything after Summer at this point.

    First it was a day, then two days (gotta include the Eve!!) Then the 12 days of Christmas, fucking hell. So on and so on.

    And woe to you if you work Retail. Mariah Carey is coming for you.

      I’m the kind of person who’s making this a reality because I heckin’ love Christmas time.

        You and my sister. She had her tree up before Halloween (though she did decorate it halloween-y)

        Me I’m a bah humbug guy that’s got too much PTSD due to years spent in retail. I’m freaking done with it 😂

    Might be an unpopular opinion, but I have no problem with stores selling holiday stuff way in advance of the holiday. Some people want to get their decorations all lined up, be working on crafts, or whatever. What I object to is when stores decorate for the holiday way in advance. I don’t want to see Christmas trees and snow men in October or pumpkins and witches in July.

    Christ(mas).

    I thought it was bad in the UK when you start seeing Christmas adverts in October.

    Real shoppers buy their Christmas gifts in January where stuff is cheap

      As I get older I realize why the Grinch wanted to live alone on a mountain with his dog.

      Also, maybe the Grinch wouldn’t be so sour if everyone in town wasn’t constantly singing songs about what a piece of crap he was!

      But what happened to the DuFresnes? No one seems to care. Who can eat at a time like this? People are missing!
