Christmas!

So I hit up Target and the Tanger outlets tonight (in Lancaster) and expected the Christmas stuff to be out at Target, but didn't expect the whole store to be decorated already! Then I went to the outlets to look for a birthday gift for my mother and found that 3/4 of the stores I went into were playing Christmas music!!! I totally get putting out your merchandise so people can get a jump on their shopping, but do we need to be playing Christmas music already? Those poor people who work there, that's a full 2 months of nothing but Christmas music and I love many of the songs, but there is a limited number and I think I would go insane!

WTH happened to fall? Rant over :o

Re: Christmas!

  • I couldn't agree with you more! I saw a Wal-Mart Christmas commercial tonight on TV and wanted to scream.  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and I hate that it gets lost in the shuffle.  I do start shopping early but everything else gets put on hold until Black Friday.

  • I was in Sears over a month ago and they were putting away their patio furniture and hauling out their Christmas decor merchandise! 
  • I was at the Hallmark store about 3 weeks ago and they had their Christmas CD playing already!
  • I used to work retail and manage a store here in the mall and I beleive we had our holiday kick-off sale well before Thanksgiving. I think we had Christmas music playing all through November--try having to work with it all day, everyday so far before Christmas.
  • I'm so not ready for Christmas yet.  We've been seeing decorations in the mall and other stores far too early.

  • I'm sorry, but I'm ready for Christmas. I really need it because it means that student teaching will be over.

  • I have such mixed feelings about it. Usually I would be saying that it is way too early, but this year I feel like Christmas is going to be on the back-burner with the arrival of our LO... so in a way, I'm soaking up that Christmas feeling now when I run errands since I doubt I'll be doing much of that in December! I have no idea how we're going to do our usual Christmas prep this year! 

  • I really don't mind having the merchandise out. Hell, Hallmark puts out their ornaments in like July. Fine. but the music? really?
