Is it too early?

Christmas stuff is coming out earlier every year. I think it is getting a little bit ridiculous. I could see Christmas stuff coming out before Thanksgiving since a lot of people put up their trees on Thanksgiving or the weekend after, but Halloween is just a little too early.

The retailers need to get the jump on Christmas shopping because everyone is so broke. They need to work on everyone so I think they start earlier and earlier.

I dont think its too early to start the shopping since the closer it gets the nuttier things get BUT I think its a bit early for ppl to have their houses all decorated and for Xmas carols to be playing in the stores etc etc...

Our shops have been full of christmas since around about October, well it was before halloween in fact. I thought that was way too early but now we are in the middle of November it is nice to see them as it helps me to get into the christmas spirit.

I think it's too early. We saw a house yesterday with the yard all decorated already. Complete with candy canes lining both sides of the walk way. I am all for showing Christmas spirit but I think mid November is a tad early - especially since there is no snow here yet. In my opinion Christmas stuff shouldn't come out until December.

I think it's too early for Christmas. But let's be honest, shops are selling all sorts of Christmas stuff early too and that just makes you start early. But who cares really? It's all about having a good time!

Yes it is. Walmart has been playing Chritmas Music since November 1st. What! They do not think Thanksgiving is a Holiday. I know commercially Christmas is the Holiday all retailers look forward to because that is their money maker. But as a consummer I feel that it is to much. I have seen the displays in the stores since September. My parents used to own a Hallmark store. And their criteria for when to start setting out the Christmas displays was based on if they had more then two people a day asking for the Christmas products. The last several years they had the store that was in June when they started getting the more then two a day requests. To Much in my opinion.

I avegrown so accustomed to items being on the shelves etc so early that I start getting in the spoirit all too soon as well. But I guess I actually like it to a point. I am one that feels it is not too early as I am so used to it by now. Heck I even have decorations and my outdoor lights up already. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I think it is way too early! I couldn't believe how early they put stuff out. We went shopping the day after Halloween and they already had the Halloween candy gone and the whole isle was full of Christmas candy. I haven't really started my shopping yet. I'm dreading it because we are broke.

I think that it is easier for a lot of folks to start early and buying for the holidays not hi them all at once!

I do not think that it is too early for Christmas now. Before halloween it certainly was but going into the second week of November it is not. I myself have to start shopping for christmas very very early since i have so many people to buy for and am on a limited budget.
