    Are retailers on a different calendar system or something????

    I was doing a little Christmas shopping yesterday (mostly for myself ). I stepped into one store and thought I hit a time warp, all the Christmas stuff was down and in clearance bins at the front of the store, and they were putting up Valentines day and summer stuff (BBQ's and the like) in the seasonal section....What the he???

    First, they try start the Christmas season in September, then when its ACTUALLY CHRISTMAS they want me to buy a lawn mower? Something is seriously wrong with this!!!

    I can still use some Christmas items.
    Can you go through the bins for me?

      I feel your pain! It's really getting out of hand.
      Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.

        All has to do with holding the shelf space......

          I think they are trying to get an early jump before they have to discount.

          Look at this year.....retailers were doing Black Friday deals before.....Black Friday
