Christmas is coming

[beccadabride]

I just wanted to make everyone aware that Christmas is exactly two months from today (61 days if your counting, but who is?). This is an important fact to know in the retail business as people tell you they are "getting ideas for Christmas", you must tell them to buy now! Your ideas will be gone by the time you get back! Ok, so I'm not that

i agree with you becca! working in retail made me a whole lot more willing to celebrate christmas early. i never lost my love for all the little preparations even though we always had our christmas books out by now... I was actually looking at the christmas card selection at the wegs a couple days ago :) what a wonderful season!

yeah, even i'm softening my hard line on boycotting companies that bring the christmas cheer before thanksgiving. last year proved that i would pretty much have to boycott all retail stores.

boycotting

You would definetly have to boycott all retail stores. You wouldn't even be able to go grocery shopping! Nathan and I were at Stop + Shop a week or so ago and he almost had a heart attack when he saw the giant inflatable snow globe up in the middle of the halloween candy!

yeah...I was in the Wegs, and they have all of their christmas trees out in the front entry-way...along with some sign excusing their having Christmas stuff out so soon...It kinda made me laugh

I personally feel that Christmas shopping can be done all year. After all, you never know when you'll find that perfect thing or that great deal again. HOWEVER, I don't think there should be any decorations until the day after Thanksgiving. I tend to weaken when it comes to Christmas music, but ideally that shouldn't happen until Black Friday either. But buying gifts for people can be fun for the whole year *grin*

so feel free to buy me gifts all year:) (nate)
