Oh Christmas...

[MerHearted]

I went to my local drug store today to buy a birthday card when I saw they had taken down all the Halloween decorations and were putting Christmas decorations up. I was like ! Christmas is here?! It's been a year already?! I know there's still Thanksgiving but still... it's almost Christmas time! I don't know how to take this. I love Christmas, it's my most favorite time of year. But I have so much else on my mind right now and all of a sudden, Christmas sneaks up? This is trouble... but it's Christmas... I love Christmas... too much to take in... ahhhh!!! :sohappy: :sohappy: :xmas:

It's sick isn't it? Some of the stores I have been in recently had larger Christmas displays than Halloween.

 

[doop]

Yeah, I saw them selling Santa Claus things on QVC yesterday.

Yeah, last year when i worked at Target they had people coming in right after the store closed to set up the good old Chirstmas stuff, thankfully I was not one of those people

When I was at DL on the 29th, the Halloween stuff was gone and the Christmas stuff already out.

A local Target here has had Christmas decorations for sale (right next to the Halloween ones) for the past three weeks.

But the Christmas season is definitely one of the best times of the year, I'd have to say....

WalMart has been selling Christmas stuff for about a month now.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Toys in ev'ry store,
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.

:sohappy: :sohappy: :xmas: :xmas:

We waited until yesterday about a half hour before Trick or Treat started to buy our candy. Not a good idea, unless you like having red and green Reeses cups and Hershey Kisses on Halloween :lol:

My hubby's birthday is Christmas Eve. Birthday gifts must be wrapped in birthday paper & we have a birthday cake for him after Christmas Eve dinner.

Me too, Bri. As I got older I started to get more bitter (aka vocal) about the Christmas paper on my birthday (12/7) but then in an effort to separate it from Christmas, we started celebrating it on Thanksgiving with my extended family and all the late October/November birthdays. I can't win.

My best friend's b'day is the day after Christmas and my other really close friend is on 12/27. I never wrap their gifts in Chrstmas paper. I try and keep it all seperate. I don't even give them their b'day gift of the day I give them their Christmas gift.

That was my favorite thing to do when I worked for Target. Even though I supervised a different area, I always volunteered to help. I loved doing the overnights. This time of year really makes me think about why I left Target.
Where I work now, we just finished getting the rest of Christmas set today. We have been selling it since the beginning of September.
