When I turn on the radio and hear Christmas music a couple of days after Halloween, I know this year's Christmas will last WAY too long.
Where have been. they start putting out Christmas cars in August, so that is nothing new
This strikes a cord with me. I say, no mention of Christmas until the weekend before Thanksgiving. Period.
Few days from now they will come out with the new bathing suits.
There is nothing new about the stores and malls promoting Christmas months ahead of time. But now they are promoting Halloween in August.
Halloween, it's the new Christmas.
You are gonna get trashed by the newbies, they are very parochial...
Well, my neighbors across the street still have all their Halloween stuff up, and alot of that has been torn up by the yard apes. Looks like a Walmart clearance sale graveyard now, although they prolly spent $200 on it all at least.
I'm really looking forward to their Christmas decorations /s
I don't mind it, but then the Christmas season is about the only time I go to the mall.
Retail's done this for a while. But I swear it gets a wee bit earlier every day. Of course Thanksgiving, Black Friday and the start of the shopping season do come late in the month this year, so that would be giving retailers heartburn. Probably wanted to compensate by getting an earlier start.
Seasons Greetings.
When I was a kid Santa brought the Christmas Tree on Christmas Eve and it came down on New Year’s Day. The Holiday season started after Thanksgiving. Not that I’m conservative, but I'd like to see it return to that.
Now I already see tree lots springing up.

The only place I've seen Christmas stuff is the craft stores, but they're always 3 months ahead of everybody else.
I hate it. There ought to be a federal against Christmas type celebrations before Thanksgiving. It really cheapens the Holidays and dampens the Christmas spirit.I actually enjoyed Christmas more in Japan. They don't decorate so soon and yes they do celebrate it, even though their a non-Christian nation. Go figure.
