i do have to agree... halloween is this next coming week however all the hot toys are now no longer in stores because people have scoffed them up for christmas presents. i am like no way...but yes way people have already started decorating for Christmas etc...and I am like hey wait for one holiday to pass before we start with the next... I can't keep up nor do I try.

It bothers me. We've had Christmas decorations in the stores here since Sept. I hadn't even completely finished my kids school shopping and they had already put the X-mas decorations out. It think it's very irritating.

What I find most interesting is that I don't know anyone who it does *not* bother, yet merchants continue to push the envelope each year.
Economically, it must pay off, or else, why would they continue to do it? I eventually hope there will be some sort of reverse in which we return back to a somewhat normal schedule.

We have not started decorating yet, but we do have about have of our shopping done. We are on such a budget that we ave to staart shopping really. We are very christmas people I plan on putting the three up the day before thansgiving. I just love christmas, not for the gifts but for the family gathering. from thansgiving on it seems like everyweekend we are getting together to do something. Either it is shopping or dinner there is all ways something goig on and I love it.

Shopping for gifts ahead of time is understandable. I have to do the same, but I just have a hard time with the decorations being up and out in stores before we can get through Thanksgiving or even Halloween. I love Christmas for the same reason you do. It is a chance for family to get together and enjoy everyones company.
