And K-Mart wants us to know it’s sneaking up on us. :rolleyes: In the form of a gingerbread man.
We still have Columbus Day, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. I guess those holidays don’t matter when the big money holiday is right around the corner.
It’s not even autumn yet, it’s going to be a flippin 91 degrees outside and K-Mart wants us to know the holidays are sneaking up on us.
Nothing like pushing the season so by the time Christmas does get here we’ll all be sick to death of it. How long now before all the other stores jump in with their holiday advertising?
How long before the new commercials for Christmas start running on December 26 to warn us that there are only 364 shopping days left until Christmas?
I know in the overall scheme of things it’s not a big deal but I wish there was a law banning stores from decorating and advertising for a holiday until after the previous holiday has passed.
Too bad I don’t shop at K-Mart, I cant boycott them.
How the hell does one celebrate Columbus day, oppress an American aboriginal native
If I were the Empress of the Universe, you would not be allowed to put up commercial sales crap for any holiday until the first day of the month the holiday was in, with the single exception of New Years Day - you could start advertising for it 1 week prior to Christmas. You would not be allowed to play holiday specific music until 1 week prior to the date of that holiday.
I know that I tend to do almost all of my Christmas shopping in the post New Years white sales, but I don’t need advertising to know what my friends and family would like for presents.
Does this mean the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has to be cancelled? IIRC, pretty much the entire point of it is the appearance of Santa Claus (and remember, kids, Macy’s has the real Santa Claus - and never mind that at least two “Macy’s Department Store Santas” made appearances on What’s My Line? in the 1950s/60s) to signal the start of Christmas shopping season.
Besides, it’s not really Christmas until the first (insert the name of a local ballet company here) Nutcracker commercial appears on local TV.
Also, Hallmark stores don’t really do Thanksgiving that much; the Christmas wrapping paper shows up right after Halloween.
