I love Christmas - but not in July.

@Imaoldhippie Hey! I'm an "old hippie", too! And I'm not ready to think of Christmas, either. We're in the middle of a scorching heat wave.......

New products? Good prices?, maybe?

I can barely tolerate Christmas in December let alone July to November. I never watch a holiday show.

@meallen616 I doubt the products are new. They are left overs from last year.

I look forward to it!! I can get any new lights, decorations etc I might want so I can have them ready to decorate with and can concentrate on other Christmas related things that need done and I can enjoy the season better with that done.

Whoever came up with this concept should be (fill in the blank ladies!). Dumb Dumb Dumb. One of the reasons I quit watching the Q - because they have months and months and months of Christmas. Can you say BORING!

I hardly ever watch QVC anymore. I never watch the Xmas in July shows, I found them boring. I mean who wants to watch and order Xmas items when its 90 outside. Nope not working for me. Not at all!

I agree! We get enough Christmas at Christmas time. And they start everything soooo early now. I started seeing Christmas commercials around Halloween this past year. It's ridiculous already.

For the first time in my life I'm going away this year for Christmas. I'm going to St. Lucia for Christmas week. I already have my flight booked. It will be nice to be sipping on a pina colada with my toes in the sand instead of dealing with all of the hype and craziness of gift buying, wrapping, cooking and going insanse. No thanks.

@Pook

I agree with you.

I like to get as much done ahead of time as I can, so I can relax and enjoy the Christmas season when it's here. I love Christmas!

@Qshopper1991 -- sounds lovely! The extent of my x-mas is putting up a tree - no buying gifts, no wrapping, cooking, or going insane - I REFUSE!

@Qshopper1991 That sounds lovely. I am usually an at home person for the holidays, which I still enjoy but last year we decided to take our adult kids back to Universal studios for Christmas (haven't been since they were young) and we had an absolute blast!! No stress whatsoever and no dealing with other family members. I have to say, surprisingly I would do it again in a heartbeat. It was great quality time with them. St. Lucia is beautiful, I have been there a couple of times. It will be very warm and very humid, enjoy your pina colodas by the pool!!

@hoosieroriginal

I bought a 12" tree from Valarie Parr last year. All I had to do was put batteries in it and turn it on...lol. I also put Valarie's candles in the windows, too. That was it. I bought one gift for my daughter; and that was a $300 Visa gift card. She loved it and that was the extent of my Christmas. It was the easiest Christmas I have ever done. And it was depressing as well. I promised myself I would go on vacation from now on. And that's what I intend to do

Sounds like you had a stress free Christmas! Good for you!!!

I can't even think about Christmas in July. It used to start on July 25 now it starts the beginning of July. I think Hallmark has been pushing this also.

I wonder for those who buy Christmas items every year, don't you have all the decorations from previous years? I never need new decorations because they last a long time.

As for gifts, I have no idea what I'm buying anyone. And, even if I did I probably wouldn't buy it because I'll change my mind when December gets here.

I don't watch it so it doesn't affect me one way or the other. However, I might be able to get behind the idea if it was 1 day. If QVC did x-mas in July on July 25 and that was it, it may be more tolerable.

However, they are doing all day x-mas programming this Saturday plus all day x-mas programming July 15 and 16. And from now on until the actual holiday itself, QVC will be full on with holiday programming. They will have all day x-mas programming on the 25th of every month plus other misc. holiday shows sprinkled throughout.

IMO they should do 1 x-mas in July show and can holiday programs until October.

The sets will be full on decorated for Christmas in September. I think that's nuts

They skip Fall, which is such a beautiful time of year for decorating IMO

I love it !

Saves me a fortune don't turn on Q at all. LOL

Speaking of fall, I was in The Dollar Tree Sunday to buy some cards and they had some fall decor items out already. I saw about a 1/4 of the back wall full of fall faux flowers and picks.

I remember last year our grocery store put Halloween candy out at the end of July. LOL
