Title: Christmas decorations for sale in August?
Post by: Bolohead on August 07, 2008, 06:38:14 AM
Well I guess this is a first as I was walking thru Costco yesterday with my wife, I noticed some Christmas decorations already out for sale.

Retailers never cease to amaze me.

That's kinda scary Brkeatr.  Sounds like companies feel we will have more money available now than at Christmas.   That's a pretty gloomy outlook

.....context, man....context !!!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, J_B.....that is rather disturbing, man...

That means that at some level....all things are leading now to Christmas....and I for one have a lot to do before the end of the year...business and otherwise...

Makes me feel like I'm already behind..

Kinda like the car makers saying we have 2009's in the middle of 2008  :*))

It is really beyond me why they push for early, early purchases for holidays to come 6 mo in advance.

it's the same over here.. it seems to happen earlier and earlier every year. It's not just christmas either, 2 weeks after Christmas they'll start stacking the shelves with Easter eggs.

It won't be long till they start advertising on the t.v.!

Hey people were is you Christmas spirit?  You should all know that it is better to give than to receive.  And that there is only about 4 months and several days till christmas and that you probably will spend ungodly amounts of money on the people that you love and all I can say is I hope you spend your money AT MY STORE.....don't shop any where else but my store....
