3. there

oughtta be a law

2. It has gotten this bad

Mal-Wort isn't the only store doing this. I try to avoid it and shop at smaller stores, and even they are putting Santas besides pumpkins. The only ones that I haven't seen doing this are the truly mom and pop stores. They tend to have some sense.

I hate going to stores at this time of year, because of the crass commercialism. Christmas has become not a Christian holiday but a holiday to the god of materialism.

4. Yes, it's everywhere, it's everywhere.

Every store is now hyping Xmas.

5. A Christian Fundie co-worker

has already decorated her home for Christmas. Several other homes in our area are decorated as well. As she puts it, "If we(her church) had our way, Halloween wouldn't be celebrated."

I'm not sure she appreciated my suggestion to dress as Mrs. Claus for the Trick or Treaters. :evilgrin:

6. A bunch of years ago, wal-mart tried

Christmas in July. They had everything out. 5 or 6 isles worth. People complained and they took it down in less than a week.

7. they jumped the gun

give it a few more years, they have to do it kinda subtley

[Kamika]

8. sorry

Too busy decorating the tree

[7th_Sephiroth]

9. ummmmmm

[Kamika]

10. if you buy some decoration

[7th_Sephiroth]

11. yay

can i also take you to the movies?

[BiggJawn]

12. "364 more shopping days til Xmas!"

Those signs go up Dec. 26.....
Big Lots started bringing out the Xmas stuff right after Labour Day.....

[bleedingheart]

13. where have you been? its this bad everywhere

Lowes had christmas trees out two weeks ago...

[Iris]

14. I've noticed when the economy is bad,

retailers tend to begin the holiday season a lot earlier.

[JVS]

15. Yeah, it is harder to sell when the economy is bad so they need more time

[peekaloo]

16. The Birth of Santa should be celebrated year round.

Now excuse me while I prepare my decorations for Thanksgiving.

:dunce:

17. You's gotta problem wit Chrissmass? Hey, SOME of us LIKE getting

an early start on decorating every square inch of our trailers er I mean houses with tasteless, chinese made iconry representing a 2000+ year old non-event!

Oh, and the fat white guy in the red suit. He gets the place of honor right over the manger.

What's your problem?

[Beaker]

18. Liberals and progressives who shop at Walmart-

are putting a pretty low price on their principles. Patronizing them is acknowledging that you approve of their way of doing business.
It's shameful.

[VermontDem2004]

19. I don't know

All I know is I don't shop at Wal*Mart, it is actually the closest large store to me but I will walk an extra two blocks to Target, I just won't shop at Wal*Mart.

20. All that Christmas shit has been up at Costo

For a couple of weeks now. Makes me sick. My birthday is October 22 and they NEVER had that crap up before that. Until this year. What's even worse is 2 months of Christmas music blasting away! I get tired of Christmas before Thanksgiving these days. I try to avoid malls at all costs.

[sam sarrha]

21. It has been up in WallyWorld here for a month!

[DS1]

22. just about all retail stores do this, and

site = website
sight = what you see

:grr:

[NoPasaran]

23. Who needs individual holidays anyway?

I say it's time to roll everything from Halloween to New Years into one orgy of eating, drinking and shopping. Why shouldn't Santa bring Baby Jesus a jack'o'lantern and a big bag of candy? Makes more sense than the Magi with that myrhh stuff.

[It was not a pretzel]

24. Thats' nout mate

I've come back from holiday in late August to find the supermarkets here in Germany full of Christmas stuff.

[elfwitch]

25. pimping Xmas

Boy I can't tell you how sick I am of that too. They should just leave that crap all year at this rate.

What IS difficult to find is any Chaunakkah gear.
