That's funny, half the people in the country complain when stores put up a bunch of Christmas stuff in early November and here you are 2 weeks before Thanksgiving complaining about the lack of it. More proof that often for corporations they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.

In most departments stores that small corner near the Garden Center is the "seasonal" area where they cycle stuff that has a limited window of demand. That's where the Haloween stuff is in October, where the Valentines stuff is in January, where the back to school stuff is in August.

Funny you'd find Holidays Trees in the store since they're Christmas Trees on the website. As for the Batman ornaments welcome to the post HalMark fake collectible world, there's "Christmas" ornaments built on almost every marketable thing imaginable, every year my brother-in-law has his tree overladen with ornaments of every comicbook/ sci-fi/ nerd thing imaginable. Christmas trees have turned into another place to hang stupid tchotchkes.

Macys and Target have had Christmas stuff up since the end of September. For better or worse. I guess WalMart is behind.

If WalMart chooses to sell their Christmas stuff in the seasaonal section of the store, where they market Halloween and Valentines merchandise, then more power to them. I only said that it certainly killed off my shopping spirit.

And instead of bitching at me that Christmas trees on the website are called Holiday trees in the store, why don't you get off your dead ass and go look for yourself.
