Merry Christmas

I went into Kmart last night and they already have their Christmas decorations out. This is the earliest I've ever seen them out. They were right between the Halloween candy and the 75% off bathing suits.

Attention Kmart executives, trying to stretch the Christmas "spirit" as far back as September will not bring you extra profit.

Last year, the Christmas ads in October actually fooled me into thinking it was December for a few brief moments. It was one of the oddest experiences I've ever had.

I just saw Christmas Decorations in my Ralph's Grocery Store Flyer.

Can we please get through Halloween before we start with Christmas?

I used to work at a Sears retail and given the amount of special displays and stock they put up for Christmas they had to start putting it up in September to have it all ready and have room for everything.

It wasn't about stretching profit so much, as being sure things would be ready when the masses came swarming to the fore.

I use to work at a Hallmark store. The catalogs for tyhe ornaments came out in March with a kick off in July!

What are you buying me, robbie?

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Christmas shopping involves me and Amazon.com the day after Thanksgiving when I'm stuck in the office all day with nothing to do.

Hour. Tops.

I've got most of my Christmas Shopping done already. I always do it early so I can spend the month of December decorating the house and baking cookies.
