We have an annual contest to see who spots the first Xmas display. So far, the earliest has been mid-September.
Toss-up between, Costco, ACE Hardware, and Daiso.
Only 191 days until Christmas

Halloween stuff in back. Bets on this being a picture from fall’s past, and not summer 2024?

This photo was taken by me @ 1:13pm today.
It’s still June.

I bet those Grinch pillows will be great on a summer beach.

Christmas in July is a thing I suppose

My GF, who likes to make a lot of handmade gifts, says she understands craft stores like Hobby Lobby (which this is) putting put stuff out early, since other crafters are probably starting their projects around this time and might need a few months to get them ready.
But this shit better not cross over into regular retail stores.

Nor even Halloween can contain Chrisman anymore.

Chrisman is a shitty super hero

Part man, part… Chris.

Dude can heal and resurrect, but it takes him several days. So it’s not great for battles. He’s no Deadpool or Wolverine.

This looks like the discount and out of season pile at the back of the store. Note the Halloween decorations in the background.
TGTX@lemmy.world 4 months ago
It’s Hobby Lobby so there are Halloween and Christmas decorations up right now even if it’s June. It’s like they always start holiday decor 6 months in advance of the actual holiday.

“Only 191 days until Christmas” means it wasn’t christmas!

Sometimes I wonder if even Mariah carry is sick of all I want for Christmas is you playing on loop at every store everywhere

She makes millions in royalties every year, somehow I suspect that she doesn’t even hear it since she has the money to have absolutely everything delivered. Why would she go to a store?

On the other hand if I was this popular, I would not want to be seen in public unless I have to be seen.

In-character misdirection from the Grinch.

There is nothing on that seasonal display barge worth 150 dollary-doos. Or is there? What year is it and what’s the inflation rate?
I’m also mildly concerned about the handcuffs in the top-shelf plastic bin.
bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Good call, and you know that tree is a plastic piece of junk

Light it on fire and call it a Yule log.

No way

I honestly didn’t mind when stores sell Christmas stuff early. Some people like to plan things out. What bugs me is when they put up their own decorations early or start playing Christmas music.
simplejack@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Oftentimes the stuff goes out on the floor early because big box store don’t have much of a back room. So when the holiday decor boat from China docks, that stuff goes right on the floor asap.
Some stores seasonal product timing is heavily dependent on shipping and logistics timing.
WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 4 months ago
That’s likely the case here. It was just surprising to see so much Christmas already lol
Etterra@lemmy.world 4 months ago
It was probably taking up valuable warehouse space.

My father loves hallmark movies, and Christmas music. You can’t torture him with that. I can’t handle it, drives me up the wall.
