Lowes jumping the gun.

[Malo83]

Local Lowes already has all the christmas decorations up, they just had all the halloween decorations up 2 weeka ago, now it's moved over to one corner. Walmart and Target are starting . Waiting for the holiday seasons to start in July.

Sam's Club has both the Halloween and Christmas decorations up simultaneously.

corporate response.. MUST.. MAKE... MONEY.. NOW!! I think that sums it up for their behavior. (disclaimer: I know corporations usually are in business to make profits, but being THIS early is a bit much, just shows their desperation)

Many Retail stores are all (at least in my area of Northern CA) putting up Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations.
Even the DOLLAR store... lol
Speaking of the dollar store, the life size skulls at a buck each make great scope dial in aids

I'm fine with it. Who doesn't like Christmas?

It annoys me too when I walk into a store in September and see the Christmas displays up. But truthfully, it isn't just Christmas merchandise that is premature. One February I was sent to a job in Mississippi for two days and it turned into a month. The weather turned bitter cold and the jacket that I had wasn't enough so I went shopping for a heavy coat. I couldn't find the coat, but I could have purchased a bathing suit.

Home Depot here is putting in their Christmas decoration section today.

Not unusual .

I have a friend who is a department Manager at Home Despot. His working life revolves around the season and event timing. Yes, you need Halloween stuff up Oct. 1. Also think about all the supply chain issues. All the Christmas stuff is made and the factories are now working on Easter stuff.

Our Walmart already has Christmas decorations in place of some of the lawn & garden stuff

I wonder how bad Christmas will be with all those cargo ships delayed unloading all their cargo ?

Exactly

 

[RitcheyRch]

Our local Costco had Xmas stuff out

They are telling people to do their Xmas shopping early. There will be shortages.

yeah I was reading that Home Depot, Costco and Walmart were renting out their own cargo ships, no not just the containers, entire ships! Just to make sure stock was happening, even for the holidays.. wow..

I guess the costs versus benefits for them to make sure they have stock on hand is worth it. They have enough stores to do this.
