When Halloween and Christmas collide.

Or, our trip to Lowes. Needless to say, George and I felt like we're chasing a needle in a haystack. We were looking for Milwalki drill bits, only to be told by four different employees they aren't allowed to sell milwalki. We explored the store, first though. And, we so-happened to find a mix of both Halloween and Christmas stuff. On the right, Halloween, and on the left, Christmas. To each their own. We didn't walk out of there empty-handed either. George found two kinds of fungi cords and a couple as seen on TV products we'll consider trying. Hard to say if we'll go back, but it wasn't a waste.

That was the same here, too. When I entered the store, There was paper towels on one side and pumpkins on the other. And in front of me, a washer dryer set.

@kaylachan I'm not sure if I'm annoyed or enjoying the mish mash of holidays . . . it's just too much. I can't focus and just don't want to buy any of it to be honest.

@much2say We do like to decorate. It's a fun little project for the holidays.

Something about a contract with Home Depot making them almost exclusive.

@RebeccasFarm I really don't know, because Ace for some reason, is allowed to sell the line of products.

Seeing both Halloween and Christmas products this early would have brought on a headache for me, Much too early, I am glad you at least got some stuff you could use, They are online with their own site it that helps you

We know both Home Depot and Ace sell them. While we were out, we tried Ace in Ormand. Couldn't find the exact one, but George decided to try to use the neighbor's to see if its worth the hunt.

It appears that the Christmas and Halloween holiday talk is starting a little bit early once again.

To be fair, Halloween is Oct 31. And, that's a little more than a month away.

According to the employees we spoke to, Home Depot apparently has "exclusive" rights to the brand. However, Ace sells the brand albeit in a limited supply.

@kaylachan I didn’t know that one store had exclusive rights to sell a brand name, but I’d never thought about it.

I am surprised that they are not starting to include Valentine day with Halloween and Christmas.

Sorry you couldn't find the drill bits. They are pushing Christmas earlier and earlier in the stores. Have a good day.
