Well there is stuff in the shops where I live!!! I knoiw the summer isn't even finished yet and the children haven't even gone back to school! Its so daft as the shops where I live were advisting going back to school and the children hadn't even broke up from school!! How daft is that???? I have four birthdays to sort out even before I even start thinking about christmas, I'm sure they start earlier every year... what are your views? I think they start far too early putting thinks in the shops

I was at Hobby Lobby with my daughter the other day and we were looking at all of the Halloween stuff. She was getting excited looking at all of the stuff. I turned the corner and I was hit with a ton of Christmas stuff. She was like, "WHOA". I said to her, "Look Lily, it is the corner of Christmas and Halloween." The lady in the aisle behind me just started busting up. Seeing as I am attempting to start my own business I understand the need for businesses to think ahead to the next holiday, but it still seems strange to see Christmas trees when it is still warm enough to go swimming.

Not for me, It's never too early to start! I have a large family, and I always like to start early and be prepared, and that's in everything I do! It makes everything go a lot smoother! Especially nowadays with the high price of fuel, and the rising economy!

There are a lot of people that are starting to do their Christmas shopping. With the number of people these days they have to start early or they won't get the things that they want. I feel it is pushing it a bit to start now. it used to be after Thanksgiving then before Halloween. Soon it will be year round. it sort of spoils the season doesn't it.
