Christmas Comes Earlier Every Year

It is just barely October and the weather is starting to finally cool off and change, yet you would not know that when you go shopping lately. Christmas has been hitting the stores since right after the back to school promos ended in September. Is is me or is Christmas coming earlier and earlier every year?

I know that retailers want to make a big push as the holidays are their main time for making big sales and good profits. But I think with all of the commercialization of the Christmas season, we are missing out on the other things in between too.

Where is the Thanksgiving and fall season promos? Those things are getting pushed aside while Christmas takes over.

I think it is sad that retail has come down to focusing on what the next promo will be and not on service or other things that consumers want. Quality items with good prices, not the “what is on sale” promos, where you never know if you are getting a good price or not!

How do you feel about seeing Christmas in the stores in September? Don’t get me wrong. I love the holiday season. It is my favorite time, but not when it lasts for 4 months! LOL Am I wrong in thinking this way? Is everything now about the all mighty buck??
