OMG. Ashley Home Furniture in Lansing MI has broken out their Christmas ads on TV

[catbyte]

Not to mention Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel has started showing Christmas movies 24/7 until New Year's Day. Can't they wait until after Halloween?

1. When I ran my game store years ago our neighboring storefront was a furniture store

The owner told me that they absolutely had to get the orders in for Christmas deliveries before Thanksgiving IIRC as the lag time required that, so it makes some degree of sense that Christmas ads for furniture would be starting to air now.

As to the Hallmark Channel, yeah they should wait at least a few more days, but it really is just the same movie with different settings and actors.

2. My favorite Christmas ad of all time...

... Still can't get the song out of my head....

3. I realize stores have to gear up for Black Friday

But I get bothered by Christmas Creep before Veterans Day.

Christmas pretty much has it's own month already. It doesn't need another month.

4. Some national fake Christmas tree company has been running TV ads

for at least the last two months....

6. Only surprised all this Christmas stuff doesn't start on July 5th.

I'm old now and as a child I don't remember any of this happening until AFTER Thanksgiving.

7. Costco has had Christmas decorations for the past two months.

I will admit I bought my Christmas cards. And they've been sitting on the dining room table ever since. I thought I might get a really early start this year. Hahaha!
