    In the US, it's pretty bad, but in the UK it's much worse, since I guess they don't have to at least try to hold out for after Thanksgivings until Santa DOWN! your hole a Christmas.

    For example, when I was out for Halloween last night, I saw Christmas trees next to pumpkins. xD

    Hasn't it always been like that, though? They always start advertising for christmas stuff pretty early.

    :kaoupset:I hate it. Every year stores and whatnot put out Christmas stuff when it isn't even Halloween! I can see if it's the end of November, but please focus on one holiday. It bothers me muchoooo :kaoupset:

    Always get your Christmas shopping done before black Friday.

    This is never a good thing for your gamer friends, though.

    Well, I work in a grocery store, and fyi, we get halloween stuff in August, and Christmas stuff in October. We actually wait like a month with the stuff just sitting in the back before we actually put it out to sell. Trust me, our entire department gets mad when this stuff comes in, we have no extra storage to leave it sitting around, and we still haven't cleared out the previous(upcoming) holiday!

    Screw that, I always get it done on black Friday. I'd go out anyway for stuff for myself, so I also get people stuff.

    Complaining about christmas coming early seems to be happening earlier too!

    IT'S NOT EVEN THANKSGIVING. WAY TO TRAMPLE ALL OVER THE MEMORY OF ABE LINCOLN AND ALL OF BEN FRANKLIN'S TURKEYS.

    Christmas stuff is always out early here. I've sort of gotten used to it.
