Holidays

Tired

Putting out our outdoor Halloween decorations today.  But I am starting to hear


about Christmas already!  Don't remember seeing anything about Thanksgiving.


Isn't it a bit too early to be advertising Christmas stuff??

way too early. Gee, we did not put up Christmas decoration until 1st or 2nd week of December. Stores had Remembrance Day poppies out but now nothing. What a shame.

I wonder if they do it to get a head start on holiday sales maybe?

Love Christmas, so I enjoy seeing it early. Thanksgiving is very special as well.

It feels too early for sure, at least let's get past Halloween before we start talking about Christmas (I'm pretty sure most people don't even start thinking about what they'll buy for presents until November).

But from the perspective of retailers, many stores balance their books off what they sell for the holidays so I can sort of see why they'd want to get a jump on the season, especially if they're in the red right now.

Stores are struggling so I guess they are trying to boost sales. we don't have any money left after buying groceries and filling the car up.

Unfortunately the stores try to mash all the holidays together and unfortunately you very seldom see anything about Thanksgiving, they go right from Halloween to Christmas because they don’t seem to make as much money off Thanksgiving, what a shame

My local Dollar Tree store had Halloween, Thanksgiving, and a little bit of Christmas stuff all under one roof.

I guess a little something for everyone haha

    Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
