Ace_of_Hearts Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I am not a big Thanksgiving/Christmas person. I am especially not looking forward to having more holidays where everything is closed. It hasn't been a good year. Business is near zero and the holidays aren't going to make it any better. With that as a preface. Every store I go into is jammed with Christmas decorations for sale....... It isn't even October yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked yesterday when I walked into Lowes and their overwhelming display of Christmas decorations. Dang... it's still almost six weeks 'til Halloween!! Reminiscing about my early childhood... Christmas decorations would magically become available the day after Thanksgiving. I too hope things start to look up for you, Ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I wonder if folks are trying to get people into the spirit early? What with all this crap going on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Stores skipped Halloween due to the virus. Too risky to invest in the inventory and then have Halloween cancelled. Even with the virus people will decorate for Christmas so the risk to the stores is less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If folks would consider the meanings of this special time of year, they wouldn't feel so depressed, bored, etc.....

Ramblin Gambler Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 They are desperate to get business going again and Christmas is the best time of the year for most stores. Add to it that people are trying their best to cancel halloween this year and it's no surprise that they didn't stock up on halloween stuff. My local grocery store has a huge halloween candy display though, so I'm not really seeing the early Christmas stuff in local stores. I wish I could find the flyer I saw last week that announced the 2020 halloween protest. Since trick or treating had been canceled, instead they were having a neighborhood protest march. Everyone is encouraged to come out Halloween night wearing masks and costumes. Knock on the doors of people who have their lights on to protest and they will show support by giving you some candy. Bring the kids too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
