I’ve just gone for a walk around my local mall and they’ve already strung up all the Christmas decorations and holiday items… in the middle of September! =O
Coincidentally, and almost ironically, I saw it featured in the 6 o’clock news later that night: “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… in September.” It seems that MOST retail outlets and malls are taking advantage of this “Holiday Spending” bonanza… =(
They said it was to augment and help increase the profit for the annual Christmas / Holiday sales.
Personally, I’d be pissed when they do these things so early that it seems ludicrous and out of place… also, if they ever skip Halloween, I would go nuts (Halloween is one of my favourite holidays = candy)!
What’s your opinion on this? Would you do all your holiday shopping now? Does it really save you the money (like they said on the news)?
For all we know… next thing we might see is Christmas in July! =D
