It's the 25th. That's why there's a big "shindig" this weekend.🎅

Are they beginning the countdown to Christmas now? When Rick began his presentation at midnight, he started off counting down the days.

@San Antonio Gal

I heard it too...4 months til Christmas! I'll start counting down at the 2 month mark. Right now I'm enjoying the beautiful weather in PA this weekend!🌞

It's not madness - just helpful for so many. It's a chance to get shopping, wrapping and decorating items so they won't be running around frantically trying to get everything done and can enjoy the holiday more!! Before we (family and friends) quit buying presents except for the young children, I found it hard to work, shop, bake, decorate, wrap presents go to holiday lunches and parties and always ended up frazzled! I never did get all the decorating done that I wanted.

Yes, Christmas is 4 months away, but I will order some things now for the following reasons:

-The items I purchase are on sale or free shipping

-Shipping to my state (CA) takes at least 2 weeks

-If the item is not satisfactory, it takes at least a month to return and receive credit for it.

I have seen Halloween candy in the grocery stores, and Christmas items in the department stores. Hallmark Christmas movies have been every Thursday and Friday night all year long and every day in July for several weeks. So I don't see why QVC ( a retail store) can't promote their Christmas items early too.

However, I would like to see QVC go back to one weekend a month for Christmas shows. The July shows were a little over the top.

@Pook

ITA and spreading out the budget for Christmas and gifts helps people avoid the January debt/credit card blues since you can pay cash as you go and avoid the debt.....

And Id rather see Christmas shows anyday over another weekend of IT Cosmetics and/or Josie Moran Argan Oil and the rest of the beauty products that are on almost every weekend, in addition to the numerous beauty shows throughout the week ...Now that's oversaturation! And the decline in beauty product sales for the last quarter proves that point....(and for me, no advice needed, I DO turn the channel when these shows are on).....

They are finished with pretend Christmas. This is the beggining of the usual Countdown to Christmas, which always begins on 8/25.

I don’t get all the (not just this post) hate of certain shows, products or hosts. Why would you be on a forum for this channel if you don’t like it, don’t like the way they do things, don’t like the hosts & just bash it? Did your TV not come with a remote or you still working with a floor model? You do know you can choose to not watch right? Oh yeah that’s right, it’s easier to just come on here & try to make the ones who do like it feel silly.

I love early Christmas shows... I’m done shopping now. I know, good for me. Mad much?

@EdwinsIn QVC maintains these forums for a reason and IMO it's feed back. The Q want's to know what we think of everything, it helps them sell even more stuff to us. No hate here, just honest observation from customers and viewers of this theatrical retail sales shopping channel. It seems you perceive criticism as hate if someone doesn't agree with you.

@January121. And the vacuums, mattresses, cleaners, easy chairs, electronics. All these are so boring. Give me Christmas or Food shows any day.

@blackhole99 . If you ask me, QVC hasn’t changed anything because of these forums. Where 6 people don’t like something, the other 6 people do. I haven’t seen one complaint where the majority of posters agree.

Posters are a minuscule amount of the viewing audience. They go by sales.

I am so sick of the avarice from Christmas showings that I may pay off my account and stop watching QVC after 31 years.

The most sacred holiday of all is used to obtain more money. and from the looks of things this year, I mostly see junk. I'm done.
