I'm old enough to remember, that except for really bad christmas music albums, christmas merchandise didn't come out until the day after thanksgiving. I actually saw Christmas stuff out with school supplies in September. Too soon or not soon enough? What do you think?

I Would Say Yes But As The Years Have Come And Gone. You Find That There Is Christmas In July Sales Everywhere.If You Wait Until Thanksgiving Or After, The Shelves Will Be Bare And Your Children Will Be Disappointed. The Most Wanted Items And Toys Are Sold Out Long Before This Time Period.

Too soon. It's all picked over and torn up long before most people want to actually buy it. I think that the day after Thanksgiving is plenty early enough. I understand not wanting to go to all the trouble to put the tree up a week before Christmas and then having to take it down again; but September is just too early. Besides, it cheapens the holidays that come before Christmas by making them seem as if they didn't matter.

Hello,
I don't think it is too soon for christmas stuff to be out,a lot of people start their christmas shopping early like me I have most of my christmas shopping done already and I have been picking up christmas decorations up a little at a time that way you don't have to rush around with the rest of the christmas crowd to get your holiday shopping done!

I love Christmas, and it's not like there is anything wrong with having things out that early, but I guess I'm with you. I don't really know why Christmas trees were in the isle next to the colored pencils...in September!!! Strange....but my birthday is on Christmas day, so I am a huuuuuuuge Christmas fan!!!!
Peace Out!

Are you kiddin? Wally World Puts Christmas displays out as soon as August is over! As soon as the New Year is in, they put out Valentines, and before Valentine's Day is even here, they have Easter displays out! It sucks that everything is so commercialized. It's all about the money, always! That is probably why so many people hate the holidays. I don't. I just can't stand Wal-Mart. They are the PROUD corporate partners of the gay and lesbian alliance, you know.

Too soon! Halloween hasn't even came yet, let alone Thanksgiving. Way too early for Christmas.

I went to Hobby Lobby on July 3rd to buy decorations for the 4th. They were clearing the stuff out already to make way for aisle upon aisle of Christmas decorations. I like Christmas and all, but that was just way too early. Mid-October isn't too bad, but it seems like they could at least wait until November....

Yes. It seems to get worse every year. It takes the fun away from the other holidays and makes people maybe even more stressed about the upcoming Christmas hassles. I don't like it.
