I'm not sure if I'd like to see Christmas and Halloween items on the shelf as early as July, but I'm happy to see them in October and November time as it reminds me I want to be early putting up my Christmas tree. I sometimes like to bake Christmas goods early and then freeze them so I'm ready prepared. What I don't want to happen is to put my Christmas tree up and then see some really nice Christmas ornaments that would have looked nice on my tree!

If stores waited for October to sell Halloween stuff or December to sell Christmas stuff, some people may not have the money or enough time to get whatever they need.

Yeah, I couldn't believe it, either!  Even Petsmart was putting all the Halloween goodies out.  Bet they'll have the Christmas stuff out before Halloween is even over!

Sorry, but I rather enjoy it.  I can get things and put them away so the cost is not such a big hit all at once.  But I would like to still see summer items out.

It's not only holidays, but the Back to school sales too. This year, they had stuff out in early JULY! Usually that's reserved for mid August! Kids were barely out of school for the summer before they're getting them ready to go back! :o
