  Costco is particularly infamous for this. They start putting out Halloween in July and Christmas in August. By September, Halloween is over and it’s all Christmas

  I feel like the only companies who should have stuff out early like that are craft stores because people need time to craft things.

  You have to go back pretty far to have the meaning of holidays not be about rampant consumerism.

  Like, to still it, or to decorate the store?

    I think to sell, my wife texted me while she was in the store the other day.

      Kinda annoying but also, just because it’s for sale doesn’t mean it has to be that season..

        Sure, but it’s half a year away. The holiday was so much more fun when it was a special time of year when you started to see any of it. Christmas decorations weren’t sold until November when I was a kid. There’s zero reason to sell them in August except to ruin the holiday.

  Costco is always a season ahead.
