The reality is that if you want any of the “good” decorations or trees you have to buy them early. Otherwise when you get to the Thanksgiving to Christmas time period there is nothing left.
People who say it’s too early to start thinking about Christmas always complain, once their time to start thinking about Christmas finally comes, that there’s just no way to get everything they need to do done before Christmas. That being said, I don’t disagree that it’s too early for the store to be putting to be putting out such merchandise.

Ii bought my first Christmas thing of the year today. 107 outside. But it was 70% off! Must be last year’s leftover stuff.

I want Ralph buying candy corn in the 50-pound bag, then in a week, tell Honeybunch, “We’re out of Halloween candy!”

Remember this old joke…Store clerk to man buying his partner Tampax “Your weekend’s shot. May as well cut the grass”

Ok, it needs to be said,“Lose some weight, Ralph. Eat healthy, Ralph. Stop being an idiot.”

I’ve had a little tabletop tree all year. Right now it’s got snowflakes and penguins. Something to get me through the heat of summer.

Halt?!? Getting a little full of yourself Ralph?

Except that Costco and such stores stock seasonal things way ahead and if you don’t buy them at that time, there won’t be any closer to the holiday.

I would figure Ralph would never used to June rushing into Christmas this wouldn’t surprise him. Actually it annoys him.

My mom already had her Christmas shopping done when she died on a Father’s Day. She liked to plan ahead.

Everyone knows if you see it today at one of those stores and you want it, you’d better get it. It won’t be there next week.

I’m surprised the exit isn’t larger than the entrance. Bulk takes up a lot of space, and needs a bigger pathway!

It ain’t the customer’s fault if the stores put the stuff out so early !

Since he can’t say it to his TOXIC wife without being abused…..might as well say it there.
