BAH HUMBUG TO ME!

eddyandme — Sun, 16 Jul 2017 13:40:05 GMT

I don't want to come off as a scrooge!! However, three days of Christmas items - most often on the two channels I get - is just too much to take!

I don't watch that often anymore, but do like to tune in from time to time. It's nothing against Christmas: I would feel the same if it were three days of constant fashion, food or jewelry programming! I don't even mind twenty-five hours of one specific topic. Enough is enough!

Sorry, I just had to vent!

Every time I flipped over to watch, the studio lights were down.

I'm not completely sold on all these offerings with the "fairy" lights attached.

But the TSV does look good. I could use them year round in my glass cabinet

TSV is really pretty but I have enough battery candles already!! Also I don't trust the small batteries in these, they NEVER last!! I've promised myself not to buy any Christmas decor this year, I don't even put all of it out that I have! I don't mind watching though, it's the toy segments that I cannot take....

I used to enjoy the Christmas programming, but just not feeling it this year. It seems like I JUST took that all down and put it away and can't fathom putting any of it back up. Plus, I'm getting pickier with what I buy. I'm done with cheap, yet over priced, Made in China tchotchkes that I have to dust.

I find it to be super annoying. I just don't watch.

I'm with you scrooges. I should think even the die-hard devotees would be getting sick of the same VPH season after season, year after year. It all looks alike. I think they have 3 products they're selling over and over. The worst part is once they start the Christmas stuff, there will be no stopping them until the season is over.

I don't mind so much but it would have been better if QVC2 showed regular non Christmas programming. Options are important!

QVC programming is going from bad to worse. I love Christmas. It's my favorite time of the year, but I despise Christmas in July. If they have to do Christmas in July, why not just random programming throughout the month? Not a full three day weekend of mostly cheap, dollar store junk (sorry). LOL, heck, even in the month of December, it's not this bad. What a turn off.

SeaMaiden — Sun, 16 Jul 2017 14:54:18 GMT

they need a channel JUST DEDICATED TO XMAS IN JULY. That way people who like that stuff can watch and we who detest the programing do not have to suffer. They would make more money that way.

My goodness the moaning, the groaning and someone actually used the word "suffer" in this thread.

😭

Great idea, @SeaMaiden!

Or perhaps they should begin another channel geared to decorating, home goods and DYI! Miss the DYI both shopping channels used to put on.

I was up early this morning flipping through the channels, (I am not watching any shows as I just do NOT need any more Christmas items at all!), but I saw Dan Hughes on with Valerie selling a red pick up truck.

They described it as American Folk Art. How wrong could you be!!! American Folk Art is done by American artisans not made of cheap junk from China.

IMO, the Christmas items they are selling are just that, cheap stuff made in China, I want no part of any of it.

Aren't most things from QVC made in China?

I honestly thought they had already completed Christmas in July. I turned last night and they were saying merry Christmas to a caller really??? I could not change the channel fast enough.

Agree. Too much. And I'm curtailing materialistic at the holidays so I join youz Scrooges.

I like the Christmas programming, but I understand how some of you feel. I dislike the prolonged beauty or jewelry programming. Those products are not something I care about or buy.

I love CIJ, i'm sick of jewelry and Logo that I would not ever purchase. And the decor on the sets is so pretty to look at
