Have been to local garden centre today and guess what is there ....Christmas decorations already.. any by you?

Have not seen any yet, but I am friendly with a woman who works in a card /gift shop in the village and after fathers day they had their xmas cards in, but they only put them on display during the middle of September.

Reply:note to yahooers reading this: sell off shares of this company's stock, if you own it. putting x-mas stuff out this early is a sign that sales forecasts aren't looking pretty.





thanks for the points!

Reply:Selfridges was on tv last week advertising their christmas decoration department. they said that people like to shop early and tourists like to see it!! what a shame it is not kept special for the children in December.
Reply:Havn't seen any decorations but our local card shop has got the Christmas Cards out already.
Reply:really? im not setting foot in one just in case!! although the kids wont be long back at school when advent calendars are out
Reply:The shop I work in will be putting out decorations in September!!! (I hate Christmas)
Reply:Wow. Way too early.... Summer isn't even over... Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Reply:Shame how much of a marketing exercise it has all become isn't it? When I was growing up I swear it wasn't all about the money.
