There's Halloween Stuff in the Stores Already

Three days ago when I was at Walgreens I saw Halloween candy, just a small amount, in the counter at the cash register. I asked the clerk if they had Halloween stuff coming in already or if that was last year's (lol) and she said they got a whole truckload of Halloween stuff this week and just hadn't put it out yet but were getting ready to. Then today I ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel restaurant and there were several display tables in their little market filled with Halloween items. It's too soon! It's only July 19th. At least wait until September 1st. I wish retail wouldn't rush the holidays. Have you seen Halloween stuff out in your stores yet this year?

I've always been a HUGE Halloween fan, way back before they produced so much commercial stuff for the holiday. I made my own spooky decorations.

@LooeyVille I never liked it. We have bonfire night on Nov 5th and it was much better. We built some huge bonfires - really good fun.

It's too late to do that. Are they anticipating the rush sales?

They need to get to that Christmas stuff so the others have to start early.
