That explains a lot.

Lowes has their Christmas stuff out - right next to the Halloween stuff.

Home Depot as well

Hobby Lobby had their Christmas stuff out in August.

Hobby Lobby and other craft stores (Michaels, Jo-Ann etc.) put out their Christmas craft items early so that people have time to make their projects and have them ready when the time to decorate comes around.

I know this sounds cliche but it seems like every year they start with the Christmas stuff sooner. Personally the last 10 years or so I've become sick of the whole thing by the time Christmas Day arrives. I know I'm "supposed" to be joyful over the celebration of the birth of my Savior, but it all seems so contrived and pressured I just don't get it anymore.
Course, could be I've just gotten older and grumpier. No one understands when I cheer for the Grinch to steal Christmas.

Its been about a month since the last time i went to Home Dopey. I didnt notice any Christmas decor at that time. Walmart is a different story. I think the Christmas season is great but by the time i finish spending for everything associated with Christmas my wallet is going ..Ho..Ho..Uh Oh!
